Subject:	g77 calling C calling g77

I am looking for calling conventions for calling C routines from FORTRAN
and vice versa.

One puzzling feature that I have run across it that a C function
referenced from FORTRAN must have an underscore postpended to name of
the C function source:

SUBROUTINE FcallC ()
INTEGER ITEMP

ITEMP = Cfunc()

RETURN
END

int cfunc_()
{
...
}

Now, if I have a group of pre-existing C routines, does that mean that I
must edit all of the routines to add the post-pended underscore in order
to call them from FORTRAN?

What about the reverse sequence, calling FORTRAN from C?  Who gets the
underscore?
