[Tutor] Translating FORTRAN (77?) to Python?

[Smith, Jeff]

There was an add-on to the GNU C compiler for FORTRAN77 at one time
(g77). I don't know if it is still available to how well it works
though.

That is interesting. I'll pursue it. Thanks. Of course, at the moment, I
have no F77 compiler, so I can't even execute or use the code. Is there
a freebie F77 compiler out there?

lets

docstrings so
	you can see how to call the functions.
