I inherited a fortran program from a VAX/VMS environment,
and it relies on "extensions" to fortran supported by
the VMS fortran compiler.  Things like allowing DATA statements
to be intermingled with other declaration statements.
I am running 4.3BSD on a MicroVAX II.  Needless to say,
the program doesn't compile using f77.

It is too big to attempt to smoothe out the irregularities.
Do I have any alternatives?

We have an Ultrix 32m v1.2 system too, but DEC went with the
ANSI f77 in that environment, oddly enough, ensuring a lack
of portability between their products.
