-This directory contains the f2c library packaged for use with g77 to configure
-and build automatically (in principle!) as part of the top-level configure and
-make steps. This depends on the makefile and configure fragments in ../f.
-
-Some small changes have been made to the f2c distributions of lib[FI]77 which
-come from <ftp:bell-labs.com/netlib/f2c/> and are maintained (excellently) by
-David M. Gay <dmg@bell-labs.com>. See the Notice files for copyright
-information. I'll try to get the changes rolled into the f2c distribution.
-
-Files that come directly from netlib are either maintained in the
-gcc/f/runtime/ directory under their original names or, if they
-are not pertinent for g77's version of libf2c, under their original
-names with `.netlib' appended. For example, gcc/f/runtime/permissions.netlib
-is a copy of f2c's top-level`permissions' file in the netlib distribution.
-In this case, it applies only to the relevant portions of the libF77/ and
-libI77/ directories; it does not apply to the libU77/ directory, which is
-distributed under different licensing arrangements. Similarly,
-the `makefile.netlib' files in libF77/ and libI77/ are copies of
-the respective `makefile' files in the netlib distribution, but
-are not used when building g77's version of libf2c.
-
-The `README.netlib' files in libF77/ and libI77/ thus might be
-interesting, but should not be taken as guidelines for how to
-configure and build libf2c in g77's distribution.
-
-The packaging for auto-configuration was done by Dave Love <d.love@dl.ac.uk>.
-Minor changes have been made by James Craig Burley <burley@gnu.ai.mit.edu>,
-who probably broke things Dave had working. :-)
-
-Among the user-visible changes (choices) g77 makes in its
-version of libf2c:
-
-- f2c.h configured to default to padding unformatted direct reads
- (#define Pad_UDread), because that's the behavior most users
- expect.
-
-- f2c.h configured to default to outputting leading zeros before
- decimal points in formatted and list-directed output, to be compatible
- with many other compilers (#define WANT_LEAD_0). Either way is
- standard-conforming, however, and you should try to avoid writing
- code that assumes one format or another.
-
-- dtime_() and etime_() are from Dave Love's libU77, not from
- netlib's libF77.
