Hi, I'm trying to get a reasonably complete Fortran-77 compiler for my
beginner's class, and I wanted to try GNU Fortran (G77) 5.18 with GNU
CC (GCC) 2.7.2.1.  As I understand it I'm supposed to "merge" the G77
source distribution (~7MB file?) with the GCC source (~28MB file) and
then compile the resulting file.  But of course GCC only compiles
under itself in DOS (learned the hard way, after trying to compile
these source files under my Borland C++ 5.01) -- so I had to get DJGPP
v2.

So, does G77 run off DJGPP?  Or, I guess the way to do it is to just
use DJGPP to compile the merged GCC + G77, right?  And then after that
I can just run the binary GCC directly without messing w/ DJGPP?

Or does this make sense at all (I may not have grasped this whole
concept yet)...  BTW, is there a G77-dedicated newsgroup?

Thanks for any help!

P.S.  I'm currently just using BCF 1.3b, but it gave me an error when
I started to use built-in functions like NINT, etc. in my programs...
