I apologize if I offended you. I pointed out a major problem with the current method of handling Fortran on FreeBSD. I pointed out that I don't know how to fix the current implementation. I have written an alternative solution that does the right thing. I have documented the use of the utility I wrote. I asked you to document your work, and you're offended. There is no way a person can know that "f77 -honorcase" translates to "f2c -U" without looking into the source. And, of all place they need to look, they must find the changes in gcc.c. > > I'm not using Fortran much anyway, so if you think your script is better > I do not object to you commiting it. > > Jonas > It's not a script.
