There are several FORTRAN to C source converters out there.
f2c is one of the best, and it's open source.
f2c is really good, but the C code will look mechanically generated, and
not be so easy to maintain itself. For a while we used it to run a 30,000
line F77 program on a computer with no F77 compiler, and did not have to
change a single line. But I never tried to edit the C code.
FORTRAN is a very simple language. A C programmer could learn enough to
maintain a FORTRAN 77 program in a morning, assuming that maintainance
doesn't mean "write a GUI interface" or "refactor to run multiple
threads", but consists of things closer to "change the maximum string
length from 12 to 18".
