   Are you looking for a referral to a good psychiatrist, or a new job?

   Seriously, I have used C++ and Ada, and tried to convert both ways.
Converting C++ into Ada is not hard, but the reverse is very painful.  The
problem is not with any of the strengths or weaknesses, as such, of either
language, but with overloading.  In some areas you will have several
subprogram calls per line where you have to resolve WHICH operator or
function is (or should be) called.

   It might be worth using ASIS to design a tool to unambiguously resolve
every call in the source.  But if you are going that far, it is far easier
to convert the Ada 83 to Ada 95 and have done.
