I downloaded and tried it but the result was not very informative:

STIFF.FOR:
Fatal error: invalid FORTRAN text!

This link actually contains sources for the ForToPas program so I
loaded that in Delphi7 and stepped through it.
The code is very strange with *lots* of gotos and strange conditionals
that seem not to work at all.
I think that I would need a lot of time to go over this and just get
it to work correctly according to the comments in the code....
And then I would not know if it actually did the right conversions.
