Dear Gcc Helpers I recovered an old scientific program code written in Fortran IV. Still using hollerith assignments - which I think I understand, I can compile it with the many warnings regarding essentially 3 things 1- hollerith 2- “do" cycles indexed to an active command line instead of “enddo" or “continue”, e.g. do 10 i=1,n x=x+1 10 y=y+1 3-“if” of the type If (n) 10,20,30 All of this can be cleaned, but I have the feeling that in spite of the warnings the compiler still treats these 3 warnings correctly, since I could test it with coherent results. The program starts running, properly, reads input files and execute some routines, but then gets stuck with strange huge numbers that have no apparent reason to be there. The problem is in fact that there are no assignment of variable types and there are many commons with different variable names that contribute to the confusion when debugging. Setting “implicit none” creates too many errors, since sometimes is not easy to assign the type of the variable on a code with 30 routines and more than 5000 lines. I am considering reviewing it fully, but first would like to know if there is some options that could help emulating an older compiler for fortran IV. In the moment the fortran routines have type .f Thanks anyway Cheers João Correia
