Also, unlike cc, f77 accepts more than one option character following a "-". Being unaware of either of these sorry facts, I had someone type "f77 -go prog.f" and f77 cheerfully compiled an empty source file onto prog.f (with a brief mention that _MAIN_ is undefined). Sigh. Diffs to f77.c forthcoming if anyone wants them.... Mark Shoemaker Purdue University Computing Center ...!pur-ee!pucc-k:acu
