Joe and Samir,

Gfortran is getting there very rapidly - see http://gfortran.org and the 
link to the gfortran list.  It matters enormously how recent a snapshot you 
are using.  Check out the gcc-4.00 cvs gcc and gfortran to five it a whirl. 
If you find bugs, please submit them to gnu bugzilla, especially if the code 
is fortran77.
