A moderate sample of the source code might show to the experienced
observer whether it was a Unix-based Fortran or (more likely in my
opinion) DEC Fortran.   One should also be able to tell by inspection
whether it was DEC Fortran IV or Fortran 77.

Unix Fortran should be available on one or more of the distributions
archived at Tuhs/Pups.  Probably as f2c, the Fortran to C translator.
