How old are they? Anyway, g77 should do what you want.

Ugh. Good luck; I expect that they would have to be very plain fortran. Get them compiled with g77 first. Only then should you try anything fancier. > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/belfast$ perl f77toM.pl ebel.for > Can't modify reference constructor in list assignment at f77toM.pl line 465, near > ");" > Execution of f77toM.pl aborted due to compilation errors. Sounds like a perl version problem. You would have to take this up the author of f77toM. If you get stuck compiling with g77 you can send fragments of the source and your compiler errors to me. Another free fortran compiler is f2c from bell labs. (google for it -- there may well be a dpkg for it.)
