I have a small network of Suns running Solaris here at work. There are lots of programs compiled using sun's f77 compiler. Could these be ran on a mac with OsX? Could the uncompiled version be compiled with g77 or Absofts F77 compiler?

Thanks

You will need to recompile them. After that they should work.

Compiled apps wouldn't run because Sun's don't use PowerPC CPUs. They use Sparc CPUs.

I tried to compile the .f files with g77 but just got a bunch of errors. Should f77 .f files be able to be compiled with g77?

If the F77 files are really written in F77 then they should compile without a hitch. Some simple extensions (like IMPLICIT NONE) should also work just fine. Beyond that, all bets are off. First off, what does the Sun compiler say if you compile with -C and -ansi (to get all the checking turned on)? See if similar errors turn up to when you try compiling with g77. FWIW, what errors do you get on your OSX box?
