I'm looking for tools to analyse and restructure existing FORTRAN 77 code.
Here's a list of what I have been able to find that's available commercially:
FORCHECK
code analyser
Leiden University
The Netherlands
FOR_STRUCT
restructuring tool
Cobalt Blue
San Jose, CA
FORWARN
restructuring tool
Quibus Enterprises
Colorado Springs, CO
MAT
code analyser
Science Applications Int'l.
Arlington VA
SPAG
restructuring tool
Standlake, England
VIFOR
graphic oriented maintenance tool
Wayne State university
Detroit MI
Has anyone had any experience with any of the above ?
I'd appreciate any hints and advice.
Thanks in advance.

Of the list you mention, we have two: FORWARN from Quibus and MAT from SAIC. We also acquired Fortran-lint from IPT (415-494-7500) about a year ago. Of the three, I find that Fortran-lint works the best. FORWARN is fast but often incomplete. MAT is slow and cumbersome and often TOO complete: it generates reams of messages. Fortran-lint seems to be just right: it's fast and very convenient to use (unlike the other two, I don't have to run my source code through any filters or combine my 1000 source files into one). It does complete interface checking even with the routines not in calltree order and is able to detect an uninitialized variable which is referenced several subroutine calls deep. The messages can be individual- ly suppressed and the output is clean and understandable. I find Fortran-lint to be an indispensable tool for managing a large FORTRAN ap- plication. ============ Iris Engelson Director of Software Development Interet 111 Dunnell Road Maplewood, NJ 07040 Tel: 201-763-1200 Fax: 201-763-5120 iris@interet
