That's not a binary but is Mike Metcalf's convert tool that I've used
before with success. It becomes a binary without objection.
He has a huge comment on usage, but if it doesn't work how you'd like,
re-post for a refinment. MM lurks here frequently and is not shy about
helping.
One thing I remember: if the f77 target has things like line fold-overs,
fix them before conversion. So it would behoove you to compile it as f77
and see if there are complaints first.
