[Discuss] FORTRAN -> ???



I was talking to an ex-co-worker last night and he said that he's
having trouble finding a programmer to maintain their FORTRAN
codebase.  The conversation got me thinking - there must be a way to
automatically change older languages (FORTRAN, etc.) into something
newer.  At the very least you should be able to compile the program
into machine code, then use a decompiler to bring it back into C.
That really shouldn't be necessary though - you should be able to have
a compiler move FORTRAN straight into the language of your choice.

Does anyone know of an automated tool to do this?  I checked Google
and a few things came up but nothing that looked particularly helpful.

Thanks,
Dan
