I doubt you will find an automated tool that can handle newer standards
for FORTRAN, as they differ radically from FORTRAN 77 and earlier.
However, it is not too difficult to do the translation by hand,
provided you have somebody available who is fluent in both languages.
The only such person I know of is myself, but I'm not currently
available.

Yes, it is called a "shared object" library and usually has a .so
suffix.
