# Translation of SuperBASIC into Fortran 77

In the last issue we looked at implementing some of the SuperBASIC maths functions and the majority of the memory manipulation routines, that are missing from FORTRAN 77 ie the PEEK and POKE functions and procedures. I also gave some insight as to what would be tackled next, namely the loop primitives, functions and procedures.
