George,

The file "triples_test.txt" is the fortran source code.

You'll need to rename it to "triples_test.F" and then compile it with  
a fortran compiler.

The other option is to implement the algorithm in octave.

There have been a few recent questions regarding an Octave  
implementation of the "triples test". Is there any reason for the  
sudden interest?
