I'm posting this because it seems like a frequent question to me.

I don't recall the article number, but a university in the Netherlands
has written one of these tools. Someone posted about it in comp.os.vms
last week.

There's a commercial tool that I tried and liked, but couldn't afford
at the time called FORTRAN-lint. Is for VMS and Data General. The license
for a MicroVAX 2 was $4000-$5000 or so as I recall.

I'll hunt up the net-addressof the Netherlands person, and phone number
for the commercial product, if anyone wants those.

Perhaps comp.lang.fortran could compile a list of opinions and sources
of these, and put them in an ftp site?  It seems to me that it's much
easier to find C tools advertised than FORTRAN tools.
