I agree in principle that software should be redesigned but the reality
is to first get individuals involved with Component Pascal and that step
can be eased by having them see the fruits of their labors (in FORTRAN)
converted to the semantically equivalent Component Pascal source code.
It makes understanding CP just a little bit easier.
I hope to create variants of FORTRAN (and C and C++) once F77 is working.
