Perhaps a better question is:
Will any of these allow linking f77 code to C code (the way
Berkeley's f77/C compilers do)? How about gcc linking to the f77
stuff?
Reason: We use the NCAR graphic system here at CCNY and would like to
port it over to some of our 3B1's, but it uses f77 calls mixed in with
a lot of C (the whole foundation of the package). The Fortran would
be pretty much useless if it was unable to be co-compiled with C. I
believe (I am not totally sure) that LPI Fortran is a standalone
package with no ability to bind to C. I have "gleaned" this from a
professor who used it for a while.
