VAX Fortran has become a de-facto standard in nuclear physics and high
energy physics. It was Fortran-77 with some nice extensions.
After the demise of DEC, VAX Fortran is now marketed by Compaq
and I have recently seen a collegaue using it under Windows.
I am not sure about a Fortran-to-CP compiler. I once heard
that software should be redesigned rather than translated.
