+.TH RATFOR 1
+.SH NAME
+ratfor \- rational Fortran dialect
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B ratfor
+[ option ... ]
+[ filename ... ]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.I Ratfor
+converts a rational dialect of Fortran into ordinary irrational Fortran.
+.I Ratfor
+provides control flow constructs essentially identical to those in C:
+.TP
+statement grouping:
+.nf
+{ statement; statement; statement }
+.TP
+decision-making:
+if (condition) statement [ else statement ]
+.br
+switch (integer value) {
+       case integer:   statement
+       ...
+       [ default: ]    statement
+}
+.TP
+loops:
+while (condition) statement
+for (expression; condition; expression) statement
+do limits statement
+repeat statement [ until (condition) ]
+break
+next
+.LP
+and some syntactic sugar to make programs easier to read and write:
+.TP
+free form input:
+multiple statements/line; automatic continuation
+.TP
+comments:
+# this is a comment
+.TP
+translation of relationals:
+>, >=, etc., become .GT., .GE., etc.
+.TP
+return (expression)
+returns expression to caller from function
+.TP
+define:
+define name replacement
+.TP
+include:
+include filename
+.PP
+.fi
