Modern Fortran supports all of the old FORTRAN code, and modern concepts
suporting GOTO-less efficient software engineering friendly control
structures.

There is no portability problem, Fortran 90/95 is a very modern language,
with all
of the "modern" structures one expects but without any of the downsides that
non-mathematical languages such as C exhibit when pitted against tough
mathematical
operations.

Fortran 90/95 also has widely available very fast proven optimizing
compilers, some
of them are even free.

Long live Fortran...

Peter... Uh, Peter? You're free to do all the coding yourself if you'd
like to. Converting NEC to Fortran 90/95 would be a good project
for you in your retirement.
