I sent this to pavenis AT lanet DOT lv, but forgot to cc: to the list.

Please note the new updated g77 Info G77.I1 dated 10-22-98 has the following
statement:

   Non-Fortran-related operation of `gcc' is generally unaffected by
installing the GNU Fortran version of `gcc'.  However, without the
installed version of `gcc' being the GNU Fortran version, `gcc' will
not be able to compile and link Fortran programs--and since `g77' uses
`gcc' to do most of the actual work, neither will `g77'!

This may not be true considering that gcc.exe may not have to be copied
over by
a version provided by g770523b.zip.

Is the quoted statement now true?

Sorry if I seem to be making a mountain out of a mole hill, but it seems to me
this change (i.e., no gcc.exe change needed) should be understood.

Ralph
