The Fortran IV program that I am referring to was one of the first 3D
finite element programs. It ran on a Digital and/or Cray
supercomputer. It was back in the early 80's. It took hours and cost
thousands of dollars to perform one analysis consisting of about 500
2D elements (I can not remember
I just added 32G of memory to my phone. I wonder how many years back
you need to go before that was the global amount of memory in all
computers.

You should try it. I d

I have been involved in many conversions

Grrr. Why. TCL is a reasonably straightforward language, but if you

I worked for a big oil company. They had put a lot of time and effort into
doing RPG-II programs on a 'former generation of equipment'.
PL/I was the 'new big thing', before C was around. So we wrote an
RPG-II to PL/I
converter in PL/I. ... It was pretty easy until one feature was found.

You'll run into this with any machine translation. It's the nature of

Depends on which dialect of FORTRAN you are converting.

There are other dialects out there too.

f2c is one of the best, and it's open source.
