   Wouldn't 'f2c' from att (netlib) be your choice? It translates to more-
or-less readable C code which uses some support routines (also in C). But
it comes with full source, both for the translator and the support libs.
Hope it helps,

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.

Please contact us for more information, or check our Web Site 
(http://www.cobalt-blue.com).

There is a fortran-to-C converter called 'f2c' that is available at the
Netlib Repository.  You can find the files in question at:

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

Your question is partially answered in the FAQ (it does not cover
Watcom). Please look at it and see the answer to:

20.26:  Does anyone know of a program for converting Pascal or FORTRAN
        (or LISP, Ada, awk, "Old" C, ...) to C?

The FAQ can be found at rtfm.mit.edu in /pub/usenet/comp.lang.c/

Not on its own.  There is an add-on on the NAG site somewhere
(http://www.nag.co.uk) which will help produce maintanable C.  Better
to keep the Fortran, of course <1/2 :-).
