One of the best reasons I can think of is where you have 200K+ lines of Fortran
code that you don't want to convert.  Admittedly, on PC's today, there are 
compiler systems where you can link C and Fortran together, But that only
allows you to put all new code in C. (Of course, it brings up the interlanguage)
problem.)
