F-distribution

I am looking for either a reference or some fortran source code
that will allow me to calculate an f-value (percentile) given
that the area (probability) and degrees of freedom DF1 and DF2
are known.  There are numerous references that suggest how the
area might be calculated given that the percentile is known, but
I have yet to come across the opposite.

The algorithm must be accurate to at least the fifth decimal place.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
