Urk! Wrong answer - FORTRAN (it's an acronym, and thus all caps, like COBOL)
is a Real programming language, and compiled. No interpreter. There are
still a *lot* of FORTRAN programs, mostly in the sciences.
A couple of suggestions:
1) try to get it running, and while running, from a command line, run
lsof on it, and see what files it's accessing, or
2) another thing to try, if you're *really* up for it, is, from the
command line, gdb -core core, which assumes that it core dumps,
and will load the core dump into the debugger, which will tell you,
right off the bat, *why* it crashed, usually a SIG<something>.
Either of these may give you a clue. My personal guess is that there's some
system service that is not brought up, automatically, during reboot. I'd
get it running, and then using ps -ef to find all the daemons, and then
reboot, see that it crashes, and do the ps -ef again, and see if there is
some daemon *not* running.
