Tried to read the report. Somehow the font was way, Way, WAY too small to read. I don't know what concerns, worries, fears the report authors have about Fortran, but here is an easy chance for a solution: There is an open source, easy to find program "f2c", as I recall and without looking up in my notes, from Bell Labs, that will translate Fortran source code to C source code. In my project, I wanted to use some powerful, old, public Fortran code but wanted to call it from my .NET code via (Microsoft's .NET feature) "Platform Invoke" and found the documentation easier to use with C than Fortran. So I used f2c, compiled the C code, and used Platform Invoke to call the C code. Worked fine! No problems. Then went on with my .NET code!! Soooo, in simple terms, with f2c and C compilers, don't strictly need a Fortran compiler.
