[Mingw-users] Mingw GCC: Fortran to "C" conversion possible?

[Sternbach, W. [IT] <wil...@ci...>]

Hello,

I downloaded a high quality Asteroid Orbit Determination software
called Orbfit which was written by scientists and astronomers at
the Pisa Observatory in Italy.  Given a set of asteroid observations
which you can make with your telescope, the Orbfit Software
can generate the precise Orbital Elements (an equation you can use
to predict future asteroid positions years into the future).

The Fortran source code and complete instructions can be downloaded at:
http://newton.dm.unipi.it/~neodys/astinfo/orbfit/

I would like to convert this Fortran Source code to "C".

I know that Mingw GCC 3.2 has a Fortran compiler included.

Question:
   Does anyone know if Mingw GCC 3.2 converts Fortran to "C"
   and then send the converted "C" code into the "C" compiler to
   produce the EXE file.  If this is the way Mingw GCC works,
   is there a way to view the converted "C" code?

I want to convert the Fortran source code to "C" so I can better
understand the code they wrote.

Thanks in advance for your Email reply.
