                               f2c for VAX/VMS


This is an implementation of f2c for VAX/VMS systems with VAXC.  F2c converts
Fortran 77 source files to either C or C++ source files.  F2c was written
by AT&T.  Only a few minor changes were necessary to get it to run under
a VAX/VMS system.

All of the source files for f2c as well as the support library are included
in this backup saveset.  The saveset also includes object files, object
libraries, executable images, command files and documentation files as used
on our system ( a cluster running VMS 5.3 with VAXC version 3.0 ).  The command
files used to build f2c and the support libraries presume a directory structure
of the source files for f2c being in a directory or sub-directory of it's
own with a sub-directory for the Fortran function library ( LIBF77.DIR in
this saveset ) and a sub-directory for the I/O support library ( LIBI77.DIR
in this saveset ).  If you change the directory structure you will need to 
change the appropriate command files as well.

Before using f2c you should read the documentation files and the installation
instructions ( such as they are ) for a VMS system.  These files are f2c.1
( a ASCII version of the Unix man page provided by AT&T ), f2c.[DOC][PS]
( a modified version of the Unix man page for VMS systems ), and
VMS_INSTALL.TXT.  You should also read F2C_TECHNICAL_REPORT.PS if you have
a PostScript compatible laser printer.  It provides detailed information on
how f2c works. You should be able to simply use the .EXE file and object
libraries without recompiling.  If you need to recompile for some reason,
please see the appropriate instructions in VMS_INSTALL.TXT.
