legacy code with real*16

- Subject: legacy code with real*16
I'd appreciate any help. I'm compiling some old legacy code that
makes use of real*16 variables in computations. More specifically,
eigenvector computations from matrix diagonalization of order (3000 x
3000) in size. Since gfortran does not seem to support real*16 and I
want to have this legacy code compatible with standard compilers, is
there an alternative to real*16 I can use? I'm also wondering if
real*8 is good enough for matrix diagonalization of this size. I'm
currently compiling this on x86 32 bit. I also have at my disposal
x86 amd 64 bit, and a G4 32 bit. Thanks for any suggestions.
