: Brian:

: Our company offers a FORTRAN to C conversion package, FOR_C, which will 
: perform the type of translations you are seeking.  It supports standard 
: F77, with many VAX, Prime, IBM-VS, HP and Microsoft extensions as well.  
: The translated code is very readable and easy to maintain in C.

There is also a free package f2c, which however produces C code mainly
aimed at being compiler in[ut rather than being read and maintained by
human readers. (At least the versions I have used were not, maybe this
has changed?) Anyway, if you want it to compile it may do the trick, if
you want to use the C code and maintain it later, it may very well not
(especially since f2c code requires to be linked with some f2c library).

I have used it extensively before g77 became available,
and ist has been ported to many platforms (comping from UNIX, I would think,
it is at least on OS/2 and DOS, I would not be surprised about a boat load
of others, but I don't know for sure.)

Kind regards, Stefan
