We're in almost the same situation here with the exception of the 
low-level C routines. Instead, we're using an application generator to 
write high-level routines in C. I suggest you get Apple's Macintosh 
Programmers Workshop (MPW) and Language Systems Corp.'s MPW Fortran 
compiler. You can buy them both from Language Systems Corp. for about $300 
(I think).

Language Systems can be reached at (703) 478-0181 or:

I have no connection with LSC other than as a very happy customer.
