Gfortran 95 does support compiling g77 code.  It is an new release so 
there may be an occasional hitch.  If at all possible, please try 
Gfortran 95 and if there are errors, please report them.  You can report 
to the gcc bugzilla at gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla. (let me know if you get stuck)

yum install compat-gcc-32-g77 will give you the older g77, but this 
older compiler will eventually be obsoleted.
