+f2c is a Fortran 77 to C compiler (translates fortran to C).
+
+A script, fc, is included which works with f2c and the C compile
+to emulate a f77 fortran compiler.
+
+f2c is distributed by netlib.
+
+There do not appear to be released versions of f2c with an assigned
+version number. When updates are made, the "changes" file is updated,
+but there is no associated version number. I don't have any suggestions
+for keeping track of the version except to consult the "changes" file
+which will be installed as ${PREFIX}/share/doc/f2c/changes for reference.
