ALTRAN is a FORTRAN version of ALPAK rational algebra package, and “can be thought of as a variant of FORTRAN with the addition of an extra declaration, the ‘algebraic’ type declaration.” Although ALTRAN is written in ANSI FORTRAN, nevertheless there exist differences in FORTRAN implementations. ALTRAN handles machine dependencies through the use of a General-purpose macro processor, macro processor called M6.Hall, A.D., "The ALTRAN System for Rational Function Manipulation — A Survey". ''Communications of the ACM'', 14(8):517–521 (August 1971). ALTRAN should not be confused with the ALGOL to FORTRAN Translator, called Altran, that "converts Extended Algol programs into Fortran IV."
