"Re: Identifier significance CHALLENGE - (nf)"

[Spencer W. Thomas]

It is my understanding that some clever folks at Georgia Tech have
implemented such a program for mapping N-character Ratfor identifiers to
6-character FORTRAN identifiers.  I don't know the details, and it may
come up with G12345 type identifiers, but it HAS been done.

(This is my memory of a talk given at the Software Tools conference in
Boulder (1980?).)
