For a while we used it to run a 30,000 line F77 program on a computer with no F77 compiler, and did not have to change a single line. But I never tried to edit the C code. FORTRAN is a very simple language. A C programmer could learn enough to maintain a FORTRAN 77 program in a morning, assuming that maintainance doesn't mean "write a GUI interface" or "refactor to run multiple threads", but consists of things closer to "change the maximum string length from 12 to 18".
