DJGPP is for DOS, not for Windows32 (it does run under the DOS subsystem/emulation/what-not, but that's still DOS). Has nothing to do with cygwin, which is pure win32. You've been misinformed, I'm sorry to say. As for g77 for cygwin, I've released g77 for each cygwin release since b17.1, and b20 is definitely no exception. Until b20, Cygnus' compiler tools as distributed with cygwin were rather buggy, and I've typically released binary distributions that replaced the tools. With b20, cygnus is distributing an updated compiler, so I decided not to duplicate efforts in distributing the C and C++ compilers; instead, I'm distributing just the F77 and ObjC compilers as a separate package. You do need the Cygwin b20 development tools installed however. For b19.x, you can download my entire development toolchain distribution that contains g77 along with gcc,g++,etc. I don't have the time to break these up, sorry. See cygwin web page for directions to my site. Please do note that with a little bit of work one can create a g77 distrib that only contains the essentials for building f77 programs; in that you can skip the rest of the compilers. I however have no intention of doing the work. Sorry.
