Yes, as long as it's MS Fortran (or compatible).  It works by linking all
the Fortran routines into an executable, running the executable under TP
to get them loaded, then sneaking in and finding all the addresses.
There are some things that won't work (e.g. I/O), but numerical stuff
is fine.  

In fact, I wrote it so I could use NAG's PC library (.LIB only) from TP.

(I've sent you a copy by mail, but my first try bounced.  If you don't get
it, please send me an Internet style address.)
