Not sure that nightmare is how I would have described it having worked on a large telecos system that used Fortran 77.
Do you have any examples?
The newer Fortran's have much better character/text handling I agree the FORMAT statements could be tricky

Fortran 77 is just a nightmare, like you said. Not many people recommend C++ styles from the 80s either.
