Does Plan 9 support any sort of Fotran programming?  Thanks for the
help.

Not really, f2c can be used to support old code - I used
it to do a one-off conversion to C of the few bits of F77 I still
needed however if you have a large project this is not much help.

An old port of GCC exists but I have no understanding if that would
be of help in porting the gnu f77 compiler.

sorry

-Steve

there's f2c: a fortran 77 to C converter...

Beyond f2c, there was the cursed gcc port which one could probably get
g77 out of...

Legacy HPC application accomodation is on the agenda of the department
of energy proposal we submitted .  If its accepted, coming up with a
more complete story on Plan 9 Fortran support will no doubt be on the
agenda...
