Abstract

This is a report on a prototype of a FORTRAN 77 to Java converter, f2. Translation issues are identified, approaches are presented, a URL is provided for interested readers to download the package, and some unsolved problems are brought up. F2j allows value added to some of the investment on FORTRAN code, in particular, those well established FORTRAN libraries for scientific and engineering computation.
