But my argument is: when GNU C was integrated in FreeBSD, a "gcc" command was added. Once the GNU Fortran compiler has been also integrated, a "g77" command should be added, too. This is ugly, but it's coherent with "gcc" and may avoid some problems for some users. Anyway, I don't want to start a "g77 war" :-) If nobody likes the idea, OK, I'll forget it. I hate Fortran, after all! --I am not a Quiche Eater, however-- ;-) Cheers, -- JMA **** Jose M.
