  We've used both.  I don't know (and won't argue) whether or not f77 "does
  some strange things with symbols".  But what I can say is that fort will
  by you considerable performance improvement at the expense of portability.
  fort simply does not mix well with f77 or Ultrix C (maybe others as well;
  don't know because we haven't tried).
