My advice: Don't use g77 for mission critical projects. Use f77/f2c. It's in the tree. It's far more mature than g77. I ported large 400,000 line old and ugly FORTRAN mechanical engineering software to FreeBSD using f2c/f77 and I don't regret a bit. > > Thanks, > > Steve Woods > PCH Systems > 407/368-9301 > stevew@cpsnet.com > > P.S.
