Re: Need Help: compiling old Fortran program

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."

Things are being more complex now. Another team of researcher from the
other side of the bond is ready to hand over a Matlab interface to the
code. I wrote them that the basic Fortran code is broken. However, I
am still waiting on their interface. Could be they fixed the code. I
will see.

Rewriting the code would be cumbersome and not doable in a limited
time. Moreover, I am not specialised in inversion methods related to
atmospheric sciences.

Nevertheless, I guess a lot of papers are based on that particular
code. The principle method as dealt with in the code is described in a
paper and I assume some people have implemented it from scratch.

I posted the f90 and g77 output because I had expected that any f90 or
f95 does handle Fortran 77 code in a more restricted way as opposed
to Fortran 77 compilers.

Yes I got the message: the code is seemingly broken.
