    and some preliminary performance characteristics of FLAT, a macro definition capability for creating language enhancors and translators. FLAT enables the user to specify transformations through STREX, a FORTRAN-like language, which enables the specification of macros which are then used to in-terpretively alter incoming programs. FLAT is specially adapted to the processing of FORTRAN programs. This paper shows how it can be used as a deprocedurizer (or flattener), a dialect-to-dialect translator, a portability and version control aid, and a device for creating language enhancements as sophisticated as new control structures and abstract data types.
