The short answer is no. The long answer: f2c is a FORTRAN 77 (+ some extensions) compiler. It *compiles* FORTRAN 77 to C. f2c, paired with gcc and gas, produces very good results. FreeBSD (and probably NetBSD) supplies a shell script, f77, that handles the compilation of FORTRAN 77 to an executable. Finally, f2c has very good vendor(?) support. If you have a problem post to comp.lang.fortran NOTE: The FSF's GNU project is producing a FORTRAN 77 compiler (called g77). The current status can be found by finger -l fortran@alpha.gnu.ai.mit.edu. -- Steven G. Kargl Applied Physics Laboratory University of Washington Seattle, WA 98105
