>I'm using the 1992 version of f2c. Is this the newest version?
No. The newest version of f2c as of now is 941210. You can find the sources
at ftp://netlib.att.com/pub/f2c/. You may need some patches to successfully
compile them with djgpp. Details on request.
>How well does f2c work?
It depends on what you'll do with f2c. As far as I know, f2c works
satisfactory if your Fortran code doesn't use extraordinary syntax
(including vendor-specific extentions). I've ever converted/compiled
several huge scientific programs and subroutine packages written in
Fortran (e.g., SPIDER (Subroutine Package for Image Data Enhancement and
Recognition, AIST-MITI, JAPAN), MOPAC, SPICE, etc.) to C using f2c/djgpp
without any serious problems (well, there was a little bit of troubles,
though :-)).
>Are there known problems or bugs?"
Read the latest documents otained at netlib.att.com.
>How does f2c handle C array's? Do I need to transpose them or
>anything before I pass them as arguments?
Are you talking about the difference in the order of column and row
in 2-dimensional arrays between C and Fortran? If so, don't worry. f2c
treat it adequately.
