Perhaps you just need someone above your age - that is FORTRAN IV syntax
(maybe I and II as well) which was finally removed from the standard for
Fortran 95. If I recall that correctly from 1966 you can replace the
ASSIGN 30 TO NEXT
by
NEXT = 30
(and the same for the other ASSIGN's) and replace
GO TO NEXT,(30, 50, 70, 110)
by the sequence
IF (NEXT .EQ. 30) GO TO 30
IF (NEXT .EQ. 50) GO TO 50
IF (NEXT .EQ 70) GO TO 70
IF (NEXT .EQ. 110) GO TO 110
C SHOULD NEVER GET HERE - call some error reporting code to be careful
