This would be virtually impossible unless you used Fortran to simulate a
processor. It would also consume huge amounts of memory since Fortran has no
dynamic memory allocation, you would have to make an array that would be the
biggest memory size possible. Of course you would also have to simulate a
stack since Fortran doesn't support recursion....

Goes to show C is simply better than Fortran ;)
