Rather than trying to bully Don into making the code Fortran 95 compatible (the attempt will not work), use the solution provided by the Fedora designers and install the package compat-gcc-32-g77 that is part of the Fedora core 4 distribution. I saw this tip on https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2005-June/msg03414.html after Googling for 'g77 "Fedora core 4"'.

[TeX-music] PMX compilation for Linux
Dear all, I've just turn my back on Windows for Linux and I'm in trouble with my best preferred software: PMX of course. G77 compiler isn't present in my Fedora core 4 distribution and I wasn't able install it (a problem with the gcc compiler version that I can't solve). So I used gfortran compiler that comes with fedora distribution. I've followed the instructions for this purpose and I have no compilation errors but when I use the softwares I have 2 problems: 1. pmxab (2508) works fine as musixtex generator, but produces wrong midi files 2. scor2prt (version 2501) doesent work with the following error message: At line 323 of file scor2prt.for Fortran runtime error: Read past ENDFILE record I am very inesperienced, I know, but there is a way to solve the problem?
