I did actually convert this version of f2c to use /usr/contrib (and also replaced the unnecessary libF77 and libI77 source directories by libf2c). Unfortunately, while it worked fine with f2c followed by cc to compile files, it couldn't even compile a working "hello world" program with f77. As I couldn't make any sense of the f77 source, I gave up. -- In theory, theory is better than practice. In practice, it isn't. James Raynard, Edinburgh, Scotland. http://www.freebsd.org/~jraynard/
