This package is:
 -    How to build a DLL jumptable version of libf2c.a

It is based on:
 -    Eric Youngdale's package of tools for building DLL libraries.
 -    The AT&T f2c library and program, available from netlib.att.com

It contains:
 -    Almost unmodified sources of the f2c library. Version 0.11 of the lib 
      contains the 5 jan 1995 f2c library sources plus one routine for backward
      compatibility.
 -    An 'f2c' binary built with the 5 jan 1995 source.
 -    a few scripts that can help rebuilding the library.

It was designed by:
 -    Rob Hooft (hooft@EMBL-Heidelberg.DE)

With help of:
 -    David Engel (david@ods.com), the original author of the JumpTables.
 -    H.J. Lu (hlu@nynexst.com), the maintainer of our GCC and libc.
 -    the DLL tools 2.x package by Eric Youngdale.

To build the lib (you don't need to if you trust me):
 -    you probably need f2c.h someplace.
 -    you need an installed 'tools' package.
      Get it from tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/packages/GCC/src.
 -    Type './make.clean' (if needed).
 -    Type './make.shared' to make the shared lib.
 -    Type './make.clean' (you must!).
 -    Type './make.static' to make the static lib.

To install the lib:
 -    copy libf2c.sa to /usr/lib
 -    copy libf2c.so.0.11 to /lib
 -    ln -s /lib/libf2c.so.0.11 /lib/libf2c.so.0 or use 'ldconfig'
 -    copy libf2c.a to /usr/lib

Warning:
 -    You may need a DLL libc.so.4.6.x or newer to make use of this f2c 
      library and binary.
