On 19 Oct 93, Paul Kirschner wrote about a problem compiling and running
f2c, Version 9/8/93.  I recently pulled a version from NETLIB and ran
into the same problems.  The version I now have is:

	f2c ......... Version 22 Jul 92
	libF77 ...... Version 2.01, 12 Mar 93
	libI77 ...... Version 2.06, 6 Apr 93

This is not exactly the same version, but the problems I ran into were
identical and the libI77 version may be close enough for my fix to
work.  I eliminated the "undefined references to _open and _close"
with the following fix:

In libI77/rawio.h, insert before line 1:

	#ifdef __GO32__
	#undef MSDOS
	#endif

Then down around line 46 you'll find the lines:

	extern int close(int)
	extern int read(...), write(...);         (... means use what's there!)

Change those to read:

	extern int close(int)
	#ifndef __GO32__
	extern int read(...), write(...);         (... means use what's there!)
	#endif

The tests I've run so far seem to work (meaning some horrible
oversight is lurking about waiting for me to try something REAL . . . ).

P.S.  I'd be interested in learning the location of the most recent
version of f2c, if there is one.
