Once upon a time there was a program called TIDY, that "cleaned up old
tired Fortran decks"  It renumbered statments and optionally did
things like convert '""' type hollerith constants to '77H' type, and
so on.

It was Fortran-66 based, but I wonder if it was ever updated to handle
Fortran77.

It was Public Domain, if I remember right, having been originally
written at some place like the National Security Agency.  I need a
Fortran parser as the beginnings of a SUN to CDC Fortran converter,
and I thought TIDY might be a good starting point.

Any pointers?

Any pointers to any other PD programs that might serve the purpose?

I don't usually read this group, so please reply directly by e-mail.
If there is enough interest, I will summarize to the net.

Thanks in advance!

Rick
