Scientists view computer programs as tools, no different from any other
I agree totally. There are many scientists who learn how to
write programs to help with their scientific work. I doubt that there
are too many programmers who go out and get an additional degree in
biology, chemistry, or physics to help with their programming work. And
there appears to me to often be a gap between how people in the two
different worlds go about getting things done.
Since this program translation will be done by someone who
actually wrote program code for a living it will at least actually look
like a program when it is finished. There will be indentation etc.
Perhaps you would start with an automatic indentation tool before
translating. You may have a rule against using current syntax and
indentation for Fortran, but others don't.
