They're not standard Fortran, are they?  I have added comp.lang.fortran
to the newsgroups line because it's really a Fortran (dialect) problem.

The simplest thing to do with your ON DOUBLE PRECISION OVERFLOW statements
is to comment them out.  There isn't anything that it could translate into.
(Yes, I know about signal(SIGFPE, ...) but that may not be useful.)  The
best way to handle overflow is to prevent it in the first place; I would
have ***serious*** doubts about the numerical quality of the code you are
trying to port.  Find someone who understands numerical analysis and ask
for advice.

ACCEPT may be a "read from console"; if it is then you can just use an
ordinary READ statement:  for
	ACCEPT <variable>
use
	READ *, <variable>
