The popularity of C as a computer language has meant that many Fortran 77 programs have been translated into C. Although automatic translation from Fortran 77 to C can be accomplished using the tool f2c, the generated C code is not easy to read and maintain. This article describes a set of tools developed at NAG Ltd for the automatic polishing of f2c generated C code.
