Interesting. I don't know Fortran either but it looked like it could map
directly to Pascal.
Apparently it does not.
Fortran uses COMMON blocks for data storage, and it's up to the coder to
specify the *intended* structure of every such memory block, in every
module. Typically the structure is different in different modules, in
detail with matrices. This is quite the opposite of Pascal type-safe
declarations - more something like variant records with arbitrary (maybe
same) field names for every variation :-(
Fortran is different from almost every other programming language in
many aspects, so that porting Fortran code to Pascal or even C is near
impossible. Either get an Fortran compiler that can compile the code, or
give up.
