Your readiness to accept and use an executable which you contrive to produce from dubious old Fortran code is to be deplored. As someone else pointed out, you may just as well use random numbers in place of the results from this program.

If, indeed, the Fortran code is being used as part of an advanced level research project, you should consider digging up the the ideas and algorithms that the code attempts to express, and then rewriting the algorithms in a language that you are familiar with "for obvious reasons."


Silly question: I always thought gnu compilers are more forgiveable.

Few users would label a compiler that is too forgiving as forgiveable.
