If you can't do what's needed in FORTRAN, you can't do it.  Back in the 
early '80s, I was working with Dan Alderson at JPL.  We were doing work 
with structures and pointer arithmetic, in FORTRAN77 because it was a 
subroutine and function package to be used in other FORTRAN programs so 
we couldn't use Dan's favorite language, PL/1.  Those of you who think 
you can't do things like that in FORTRAN would do well to ponder the 
fact that Jerry Pournelle has called Dan "the sane genius."
