Here is a response to my request for a public domain FORTRAN compiler.
It looks promising.  (Thank you to Al Snow)

>   The NAG group sells a set of FORTRAN tools (TOOLPACK/1)
>for $100.00.  One version is for BSD UNIX.
>[...] Some of the tools are a scanner, parser,
>debugger, prettyprinter, etc.

>For $100.00, you get a tape (My guess you would want "FORMAT D"
>tar format (BSD Unix).  You get about 30,000 blocks (500 bytes/block).
>The address follows:
>   Toolpack/1 Distribution Service
>   Numerical Algorithms Group Inc.
>   1101 31st Street, Suite 100
>   Downers Grove, Illinois 60515 U.S.A.
>
>I suggest you call them (312) 971-2337 and ask for their information
>"package", about 5 pages.
>
>The people will talk to only distribute the tape, so the tools are
>more or less AS IS.  But you do get "update" (bug reports and information).
>
>I believe that you can "bring up" the part of the tools that you need
>and leave the rest for later.

>Really this is a tool hierarchy.
