How about FORTRAN to RPG?
Certainly more of a challenge!
But, a good way to quanitfy how far along they are getting on it.
The range of code traanslation goes from trivial to extreme.
The question is where is it currently on that scale?
Yes, conversion of FORTRAN-IV to Fortran-77 should be easy.
And considering that many systems ADD capoabilities, converting Fortran-77
to FORTRAN-IV might be a bit harder.
(compare that to converting 8080 to Z80, vs converting Z80 to 8080)
still relatively straight-forward, but a few additional complications.
