Uhm... In terms of size the only things I'm familiar with would not be
Ada... (The Python Language Reference Manual used to run around 90 pages,
though if one includes the Library Reference Manual one might get closer to
the Ada books; closer to Ada would be the document for the language the
four teams started development from: Pascal User Manual and Report -- which
may give you an idea of how much stuff Ada added over Pascal, and why the
books are so thick).
Converting from that level of Pascal to Ada is almost trivial... But
takes no advantage of anything developed after the 70s <G>

Well... If the F95 code is really using the F95 features (in
particular, modules) I suspect Ada packages will be a better fit than
anything in common C.
