I don't know anything about Fortran, and I've never used it, but: $ whatis fortran f2c(1) - Convert Fortran 77 to C or C++ f77(1) - FORTRAN compiler driver fpr(1) - print Fortran file fsplit(1) - split a multi-routine Fortran file into individual files Would those help? > I am currently running mklinux on a macintosh 7500 power pc.
