Abstract FORTRAN is readily feasible to translation into ALGOL since
they share many common features. Most of the features that are
unique to FORTRAN can be translated by restricting them somewhat.
The translator will handle explicit declarations of each item
in a block, compensate for the differences in various operators,
compensate for the different storage techniques and provide a
simple input /output scheme.
Running test cases through the FORTRAN programs and
through the translated ALGOL programs indicated that the ALGOL
programs take longer to execute than their FORTRAN counterparts.
