We are in need of a good Fortran to C converter. We have a large
Fortran code that needs to be re-written in C. I was thinking if
we should run it thru a conversion filter to minimize the total
number of man hours.

I also have a few general questions regarding the public-domain
and commercial language translation programs. How reliable are 
they? How do they handle system specific function calls? Any
comments and/or wisdoms will be welcomed. Please reply by email.
