Hey, anyone could explain about RatFor (Rational Fortran)?? All obout
its minuses and pluses.. Will it be a widely used language for

There was once a Unix tool called struct which would take spagetti
Fortran 66 and produce RatFor with more modern control structures.


and I am one of the "guilty parties" who continue to try out struct from time to time.
