A Fortran solution could be to find a compiler that supports quadruple precision (16 byte floating point variables) or 10-byte reals. Then you could either change the code to use quadruple precision or (depending on the compiler) invoke a compiler switch that automatically promotes double precision variables to quadruple precision. The Lahey/Fujitsu compiler has the -quad option. If you want to try this route, the best newsgroups for follow-up questions would be comp.lang.fortran and/or sci.math.num-analysis.
