RATFOR converts RATFOR to FORTRAN -- that's its job.  It's just a
pre-processor.  It's described in detail in the book "Software Tools"
bu Kernighan and Plauger (there are two editions -- one uses Fortran
and one uses Pascal).

Despite its age this is *still* a fine book -- it teaches you the Unix
concept of software tools and explains the underlying philosophy.  It's
a MUST if you haven't read it or an equivalent (is there one?).
