Yeah, put me down for muscles over brains.  I was after I converted  
the program (mostly done with "f2c" so nothing particularly amazing) I  
was poking around and found the other code.  It's already done and  
presumably tested, so that's the place to start.

It's a bit funny, but even the official Project Space Track C++  
version is "FORTRAN spoken in C++."  It's transliterated from the  
original language, preserving the clunky calls and global variables.
