Mime-Version:	1.0

Thanks to all those who provided kind suggestions and help. 

After many false starts, paper chases and wild goose chases, a disk half 
full of various versions of makefiles etc., and a head full of confusion 
I've finally found that there is no need to do all the libf77 and libi77 
library compilation and concatenation and compilation of the f2c source to 
produce an MSDOS f2c executable for DJGPP v2.

Its already been done.

I obtained f2c4dj2.zip from
http://www.netis.com/members/rothwlr/

and a copy of libf2c.a already compiled with gcc for DOS comes with it. I 
put the lib in drive:\djgpp\lib and f2c.h in djgpp\include and have a 
directory drive:\f2c with the f2c.exe in it. (alternatively the f2c.exe 
could go in the djgpp\bin directory 'cause its already pointed to in 
autoexec.bat)

Anyway, it ran like a dream first off with some fortran programs I have 
with only one little idiosyncracy: the open(file="   ") statements need to 
specify the file paths in UNIX type forward slashes.
