    I'll take the bait. Please explain your signature.

    Nothing exciting, I'm afraid. 80 characters.

    Should be 72, Shirley?

    I have written a quarter of a million (SWAG) lines of Fortran in my
    lifetime. If I never write another line I will be happy.  But I will
    write more Fortran next Tuesday.  Converting it all to C++ cannot
    come soon enough.

    Ahh... but isn't it true that C++ is only for nerds? All the cool kids
    write rust these days!

    Converting Fortran or C++ to Rust is non trivial.  I have actually
    considered it.  Shoot, converting Fortran to C++ is non trivial.

    I would guess that a straight translation of Fortran to C++ could be automated. However, there doesn't seem to be any point in it unless
    you're going to make use of the object-oriented capabilities of C++.
    Then, of course, you're looking at a complete refactoring, which would, indeed, be non-trivial.

    f2c(1) can convert to C++.

    However, I suspect it isn't that easy to end up with working code.
