Steve,
Were you not aware of struct(1)? It was in V7 and BSD. It would read
regular Fortran and turn it into ratfor.
I never used it, but I thought it was the coolest kind of thing.

hi,
having supported Pafec and then in a different job flow3d, i was most
interested in anything that could make large fortran packages more
manageable.
there was a commercial package called Spag i which claimed to
un-spagatti-ify your code which i always wanted but, could never afford.
the best i managed was sed and awk scripts to split huge fortran files
into one file per function and build a makefile. this at least made
rebuilds quicker.
i do not miss maintaining fortran code hacked by dozens of people over
many decades.
