-g77 libU77
-----------
-
-This directory contains an implementation of most of the `traditional'
-Unix libU77 routines, mostly an interface to libc and libm routines
-and some extra ones for time and date etc. It's intended for use with
-g77, to whose configuration procedure it's currently tied, but should
-be compatible with f2c otherwise, if using the same f2c.h.
-
-The contents of libU77 and its interfaces aren't consistent across
-implementations. 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.
