It compiled just fine (after modifying the Makefile and one minor patch to zsqrt.c in the fortran run-time library) with the stock 3.51 tools. Since I compile with shcc (uses shared library automatically), I also had to set the compile-time definitiom that disables its special malloc library (which appears not to work together with the Unix PC shared library malloc). The translator understands f77 and produces C source. One can write a script to combine f2c and cc into a single command if one is really programming in fortran. Such a script comes with the package but is rather primitive; I improved it slightly but it still needs work. For more information, send the message "help" to netlib@research.att.com. If there is sufficient demand, I suppose I could post the sources (with my patches) to unix-pc.sources (after checking the copyright issues with the authors). -- ========================================================================== | Richard H.
