Sorry, I must have confused it with something related that was Windows
specific. Anyway it does not interface to Fortran.

If you're familiar with Delphi (or Lazarus as an open source
alternative), you might want to have a look at the Fortran Interface
Wizard on SourceForge. It's an assistant for calling Fortran DLLs from
Delphi.

That'll be because interfacing Delphi with Fortran requires some fancy footwork,
more than with C.

No more than interfacing with Visual Basic and VBA. IMO the ease of writing
a GUI and handling event procedures makes up for it. Others call it #%$@
with icing.
