If there's something in there that you do not understand, do
not hesitate to ask :-)

All of this F77 / C++ code was working with the Watcom F77 / C++ PCDOS /
Win32 compilers for the last 32+ years and over 2,000 commercial users.
The port has been the worst port ever.  But I blame that on the old
Fortran code dating back to 1965 (Fortran II !!!).

That is OLD.  The oldest Fortran I ever had contact with was
of Fortran 66-vintage.

I have ported the
Fortran code to twelve different platforms over the years (mainframes,
various Unix boxen, Vax VMS, Prime, PC DOS, Win32).

I was porting for the third attempt to the Intel Fortran / Visual C++
compilers and they obsoleted the Intel Fortran compiler on me about
three months ago.

They obsoleted the non-LLVM version? I hadn't heard that.

I am not going to port to an obsolete compiler.

Wise decision.

The
first two attempts in 2002 ? and 2010 ? to port to Intel Fortran ran
into compiler bugs (crashed the linker table at 300,000 entries, the
vector automatic zeroing code had a serious bug).

Fingers crossed, that should not be a problem... anything that can
compile and link Firefox should be able to handle just about
anything.
