f2c is a very generic f77 compiler, while g77 has evolved to include 
many of the common extensions that fortran programmers have become 
used to, including some f90-like stuff.

I think a lot of fortran'ers would be interested in a DJGPP port of
g77. The question seems to come up on comp.lang.fortran now and again.
The alternative that fortran users are migrating towards ( bite my 
tongue ) is the emx / gcc package, to which g77 has been ported, and 
which runs on both os/2 and dos.

So , anybody have any thoughts on how easy or difficult 
the port may be ?
