This is f2c of April 1993 anonymously ftped from prep.ai.mit.edu and crudely ported to VMS. I used VMS POSIX to compile the grammar, but it wasn't easy. Its make, shell, and utilities are a lot different from those on f2c's author's system. I don't know which, if either, is correct, but don't expect to call up VMS POSIX, say "make" and expect a finished product. This compiles, links, and runs with VAX C on a VAX and DEC C on an Alpha. Subdirectory [.VAXC] contains F2C.EXE, LIB%77.OLB (D float), and LIB%77G.OLB (G float) for VAX C, and [.AXP] contains F2C.EXE, LIB%77.OLB (VAX float), and LIB%77I.OLB (IEEE float) for DEC C on Alpha. I did not do GNU C. Subdirectory [.AES] contains my work files. All other files more recent than April 28, 1993 are source files updated to compile with VAX C and DEC C. Usage notes: Source files must be .f. The command "$ f2c abc" compiles abc.f into abc.c. I think the F77 standard calls for a default open on the first read/write on an unopened unit. This runtime library requires all units to be opened before being used. It's not pretty, but it works. Good luck. I will appreciate any comments or suggestions, but I can not guarantee support for a product that I didn't write and has no current use to my employer. Of course, neither I, my employer, nor any acquaintences bear any responsibiity for the consequences of its use or misuse. Anthony E.
