        !            12: .SH DESCRIPTION
        !            13: .I Efl
        !            14: compiles a program written in the EFL language into clean Fortran.
        !            15: .I Efl
        !            16: provides the same control flow constructs as does Ratfor (1),
        !            17: which are essentially identical to those in C:
        !            18: .TP
        !            19: statement grouping with braces;
        !            20: decision-making with if, if-else, and switch-case;
        !            21: while,
        !            22: for,
        !            23: Fortran do,
        !            24: repeat,
        !            25: and repeat...until loops;
        !            26: multi-level break and next.
        !            27: In addition, EFL has C-like data structures,
        !            28: and more uniform and convenient input/output syntax,
        !            29: generic functions.
        !            30: EFL also provides
        !            31: some syntactic sugar to make programs easier to read and write:
        !            32: .TP
        !            33: free form input:
        !            34: multiple statements/line; automatic continuation
        !            35: statement label names (not just numbers),
        !            36: .TP
        !            37: comments:
        !            38: # this is a comment
        !            39: .TP
        !            40: translation of relationals:
        !            41: >, >=, etc., become .GT., .GE., etc.
        !            42: .TP
        !            43: return (expression)
        !            44: returns expression to caller from function
        !            45: .TP
        !            46: define:
        !            47: define name replacement

        !            57: .B \-C
        !            58: causes comments to be copied through to the Fortran output (default);
        !            59: .B \-#
        !            60: prevents comments from being copied through.
        !            61: If a command argument contains an embedded equal sign,
        !            62: that argument is treated as if it had appeared in an
        !            63: .B option
        !            64: statement at the beginning of the program.
