A good question, is how easy it is to download egcs-g77-1.1.1.tar.gz and build it into something workable assuming the EGCS C and C++ compilers are part of the system. I've got a Bmaked contribified version of EGCS, but didn't do g77. So maybe a consensus should be made what to do about FORTRAN in the base system. -- -- David (obrien@NUXI.com -or- obrien@FreeBSD.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
