All,

I had no idea that my original question would generate all this 
discussion on fortran vs C/C++ and other languages... :-)

The solution to my original quandry reflects some of the discussion.  My 
colleague prefers C++ while I only usually program in fortran, and can 
hack a little in C.  So to make things more efficient for both sides I 
stripped down my the most critical part of the fortran code to it's 
barest essentials to make the flow as obvious as possible,  and thus to 
make the rewrite in C++ as easy and straight forward as possible for my 
colleague.  Mission accomplished.

Best regards,

John McKelvey
