g77 and Lahey fortran 77

[MR]

HI GCC and G77 gurus, 

I am interested in knowing how hard it will likely be to get 
a fortran program written for dos in lahey fortran 77 to compile and
work under linux.

I have inherited a nice environmental model, that is badly in need of
updating, and restructuring.  I don't know much about fortran, but want
to incrementally convert it to c++.  It's a leisure time project, with 
good potential to be useful.

Anyway, any advice greatly welcomed.

THanks, 

Matt

Just try to compile it and mail me any error messages you get.  I'll try to
explain them and try to assess whether the source is compilable by g77 
at all.

Success !

Thanks for the suggestions and help,

I find that the biggest issue seems to be the optional compiler
codes in the src....like C macros, but specific to 
Lahey fortran.  

They have a utility preprocessor to get rid of this stuff, but I have
not had much success yet.  I am not giving up though.

Thanks, 

Matt
