Fortran is not my language of choice, however I have been given the task
of converting a very old Financial application from Fortran/66 (MPE/V)
running in compatibility mode on MPE/iX 5.5, to Fortan77/iX. Then once
converted to the 32 bit Fortran77/iX, I'll need to address all the Y2K
issues in this app as well.

So all that said, does anyone know of a good debugger? I have already
run the migration utility on the source code, compiled the NEW
Fotran77/iX code with NO ERRORS :-) The app runs, but goes into loops,
and appears to be walking all over it's own stack, output on reports
contains non-ascii characters, it's bad. A good debugger is almost a
necessity!

Also, any pointers (in reference to 66/77 differences) from anyone that
knows both Fortran 66 and 77, will be very much appreciated.

Thank in advance,
