You must be new here in c.l.f.  Lynn has been converting
his 700 KLOC of Fortran to C++ for 2+ decades.  It seems
his code, which clearly isn't Fortran, can only be compiled

 
This is cross-posted to comp.lang.c++, which is where I'm seeing it.
It's not very important, but I'm curious as to what about his code makes
it clearly not Fortran code. Has he conceded that it isn't actually
fortran? The Subject of this thread implies otherwise.

Vendor extensions.

We have here a classic example of code, purportedly written
in a language with an international standard, doomed by
vendor lock-in.
