Can someone point me at a free subroutine in Fortran for 2D interpolation
that is more recent that the 1980's?

netlib.org is the authoritive source of course, but why the need for
something more recent than the 1980's? Do you expect a new algorithm
has popped up?

The classical interpolation methods are based on mathematics developed in the
1800s. The mathematics has not changed even if the fashions in
applications have.

Most codes will be translations of earlier works and so will have been
done some
short time after their implementation language became popular. Most of netlib
will be Fortran code originated some time around when sharing code by
ftp became
routine. Hence 1980s!

Point taken. What I should have asked is, what is recommended? I have
tried out one, but it doesn't seem to work very well. I'll check to
see what netlib has.

This ends the Fortran-related part of your question.

Still, we might be able to help you here. I guess you used
bi-linear interpolation on a regular rectangular grid.
Can you please tell what you used and give an example
of what went wrong (input and output) and what other result
you had expected/hoped for?
