I've put my hacked version of f2c (mostly makefile, directory, and shell script
hacks) on ref.tfs.com with my libcompat.a. You can:
1) ftp ref.tfs.com
2) log in
3) cd /home/terry/fortran
4) get f2c.Z
These are sources, and should build and install from anywhere. Here is the
README:

============================================

# AUTHOR: Terry Lambert
# VERSION: 1.0
I have made f2c run under 386BSD; basically, you should be able to:
1) make
2) make install
in this directory. That's all there is to it.
To compile programs, you can use either fc or f77 -- they are identical.
Because we don't have the shell getopt as a standard thing on 386bsd yet
(well, you don't have it anyway), you must place a "--" between your source
files any your options, like so:
f77 -o average -- average.f
This makes it inconvenient to use makefiles unless you have installed the
"- hang" patch.
It seems to work, anyway.

The thing compiled some fairly complicated physics code without a burp.
