Abstract

Abstract This paper describes some of the problems encountered in implementing an automatic Fortran to Pascal translator. The translator introduces a number of improvements to the Fortran program including the structured control statements of Pascal. It highlights the structure of both COMMON blocks and executable statements, and it nests the Fortran subprograms to their required level.
