There was a problem hiding this comment.
This reads much better to me and does a nice job of giving context. The additional section on the situation of being given 2M lines of Fortran is also beneficial - I imagine it's much more often the case that someone is asked to familiarise themselves with a Fortran project than to start a new one.
I have a couple of suggestions but they're very minor.
