This one is mostly taken from documentation for (an -old version of) the Convex implementation and the v2 SunPro one. -As of g77 version 0.5.20, most of these routines have been made -into g77 intrinsics. Some routines have a version with a name prefixed -by `vxt', corresponding to the VMS Fortran versions, and these should -be integrated with g77's intrinsics visibility control. - -A few routines are currently missing; in the case of `fork', for -instance, because they're probably not useful, and in the case of -`qsort' and those for stream-based i/o handling, because they need -more effort/research. The configuration should weed out those few -which correspond to facilities which may not be present on some Unix -systems, such as symbolic links. It's unclear whether the interfaces -to the native library random number routines should be retained, since -their implementation is likely to be something one should avoid -assiduously. - -This library has been tested it under SunOS4.1.3 and Irix5.2 and there -has been some feedback from Linux; presumably potential problems lie -mainly with systems with impoverished native C library support which -haven't been properly taken care of with autoconf. - -There's another GPL'd implementation of this stuff which I only found -out about recently (despite having looked) and I haven't yet checked -how they should be amalgamated. - -Dave Love <d.love@dl.ac.uk> Aug '95 -(minor changes by Craig Burley <burley@gnu.ai.mit.edu> Aug '97) |
