STATE OF PORT/CODE: Completed
REQUIRES: X
NOTES: No brainer port. But, no color. Why? I don't know.
+ [ From Joe.Cunliffe@central.sun.com (Joe Cunliffe) the fix for the
+ color problem:
+ Add the following to the declaration section of GetResource() [file
+ resource.c]:
+ extern double atof(const char *str);
+ And voila, color! ]

+ SOFTWARE PACKAGE NAME: f2c
+ VERSION: 22 July 1992
+ DESCRIPTION: fortran to c/c++ translator - we use it in place of f77
+ YOUR NAME/E-MAIL: uunet!bts!bill
+ AVAILABILITY: from research!netlib
+ STATE OF PORT/CODE: sun install in production use, BSDI/386
+ install compiled, in testing
+ REQUIRES: i used gcc-2.2.2
+ NOTES: on the sun, we have had problems with formatted writes and
+ passing of a function name as a calling argument to a subroutine or function .
+ After these were eliminated from the fortran source, we have had no other
+ problems. Use the -DNO_UNIX_STDIO flag in compiling libI77 - it manages
+ to skip over some things the compiler objects to.
