Such tools offer little cost benefit over translating the code by hand (along
with a good EMACS-like editor) because of the idiosyncracies of Fortran (like
tricks played with COMMON blocks, lack of builtin Complex math system, and
Fortran's freedom to pass any part of an array to a subroutine).
The Fortran-to-Ada tool found in the repositories and CDROMs, that tool that
came out of the WWMCCS Ada tool effort, was released to the public because it
was worthless.
