  |>Synopsis:       f77 man page needs updated
 ...
  |	f77(1) says "From the user side of view this FORTRAN to C
  |	translation is completely transparent - f77 looks like a
  |	traditional FORTRAN compiler."
  |
  |        However, pop this in a file:
  |
  |                SUBROUTINE XMDF2T(APARM)
  |                IMPLICIT DOUBLE PRECISION(A)
  |                INTEGER  INT1
  |                DATA FR/0D0/
  |                INTEGER  INT2
  |          99998 END
  |
  |        and compile using "f77 -c tst.f":
  |
  |        Error on line 5 of tst.f: Statement order error: declaration after DATA
  |
  |        f77 compilers will eat this, but f2c will not.  This is briefly
  |        mentioned in f2c.ps.
 
 I found a tool that pre-chews FORTRAN so that f2c can digest it.  It also
 comes with a "f77" front-end script:

 Expect a port soon.
