I decided to try seeding a random number
generator in fortran with a time and see
if I could get some random numbers out.
One problem with g77 for me is
none of the functions appear to have
any documentation in info.
So I'm interested to know if
djgpp followed a standard for its functions
which machine architecture did it emulate?
It seems like perhaps pdp-20
might partly work for random numbers 
but how time is accessed and manipulated
I don't know.
This is generally specialized
information with each fortran system
in existence so standards are questionably
possible.
