And also in response to Pietro's comments ...

I have lots of dusty but still valid F77 code I use for antenna and RF
circuit design (i.e. NEC and SPICE). Yes, there are newer versions of
this stuff in C, but none of the C code fixes any bugs I'm not aware
of or cannot otherwise deal with. Or more importantly, my models are
not already aware of and compensate for.

And then there is Dungeon.  Netlib's f2c + libraries are ready to go
with Plan 9, given the correct compiler defines. Building a colossal
cave out of old card decks does not require outsourcing to the
dwarves ;-)
