- I've used a very handy utility by Sun Microsystem which was called "f77cvt".
- It was a VAX Fortran to Fortran 77 converter which used to be a piece of the
- Sun standard Fortran package. Very unfortunately now Sun ships a new
- Fortran compiler which directly compile also Vax code and has not the
- separate converter anymore (I hate it!). I've kept a copy of the old
- f77cvt binary which still works just to solve the problem you state.
- It may not be a solution for you: you need a Sun Sparc to run it.
