Why do you care if it is in FOTRAN or C.  If you use the gnu compiler
the backend is common and in the end you get the same binary.  The gnu
FORTRAN is free and runs on any platform.

But if you do care try using "f2c" it will automatically translate
FORTRAN to C and it is very fast.  It would take seconds to translate
a few thousand lines.
