As to which is BETTER, it depends on the potential targets that
the "portable" program will be ported.  Many may do better with
C (some UNIX installations may not have a decent F77 compiler).

I agree with Eugene- - look to the canned stuff first.  There ARE
some C canned scientific routines out.  Don't ignore the PD, as there
are some decent libraries on some BBS systems...
