Alternatively, remove the plotting commands from your FORTRAN program
(but leave the analysis part intact), and then write the data from your
FORTRAN program into an ASCII or binary data file. Then use IDL to read
and plot the data.
I'd try this method first.
Cheers,
Liam.

The only way you can convert a FORTRAN program to IDL is to re-write it.
No automated converter exists.
Assuming your FORTRAN program contains a mixture of analysis and
plotting, then you might consider sending the GKS commands (as text
strings?) to an output file, and then writing an IDL interpreter for the
GKS commands.
Cheers,
Liam.
