My point was that there were some old Redhat releases | (I don't recall if 7.3 is that old, probably not) which didn't include | g77, just an f77 shell script which called f2c and cc. And in addition, very old versions of g77 (I'm not sure to which RedHat version this age corresponds) used f2c's library unmodified. I think the f2c/cc times (the compiler script was called fcomp?) were a bit older. I moved back to my current job with RedHat 4.x (1997), and I worked with self-compiled g77 already in my previous job.... Rob - -- Rob W.W.
