   I don't use F2C, but there are several people on the DJGPP mailing 
list who do, and they could probably help you better than I could.

	This should be possible.  There should already be a mechanism for 
calling C routines from FORTRAN as part of F2C.

	Your should be able to compile F2C with TC or MSC... but it's 
probably already been done.  You may want to look around for it.  I think 
you'll have to use F2C for BC to generate code for BC, etc.  The the 
XXXX.c program generated will depend on a .LIB or .A library which is 
part of the F2C distribution.  I could be way off on this, but if memory 
serves me, F2C comes with a library, and the generated XXXX.c code make 
calls to that library.
