NAME
     ratfor - rational FORTRAN dialect

SYNOPSIS
     ratfor [ -h ][ -C ][ -6 ][ filename... ]

DESCRIPTION
     Ratfor converts a rational dialect of FORTRAN into ordinary
     irrational FORTRAN.  Ratfor provides control flow constructs
     essentially identical to those in C:

     Statement grouping:
         { statement; statement; statement }

     Decision-making:
         if (condition) statement [ else statement ]
         switch (integer value) {
         case integer: statement
         [ default: ] statement
         }

     Loops:
         while (condition) statement
         for (expression; condition; expression) statement
         do limits statement
         repeat statement [ until (condition) ]
         break
         next

     Free form input:
         multiple statements/line; automatic continuation

     Comments:
         # this is a comment

     Translation of relationals:
         >, >=, etc., become .GT., .GE., and so forth.

     Return (expression)
         returns expression to caller from function

     Define:
         define name replacement

     Include:
         include filename

     Ratfor is best used with efl(1) and f77(1).

OPTIONS
     -h  Converts a string `...' to 27h....
