Consider that most of the respected commercial Fortran compilers convert
the fortran code to C, and the use a C compiler to compile the C, and
then f2c doesn't seem like such a bad idea. I am told (I am, thankfully,
not a fortran user myself) that it works rather well.
g77 has certainly matured lately, but I seem to recall a need for Fortran
90 in one of the recent messages. *Every* Fortran 90 compiler for Unix
that I'm aware of compiles to C and then compiles the C into object code.
