public release. This work consisted of testing, researching, sometimes
debugging, and occasionally providing small amounts of code and fixes
for g77, plus offering plenty of helpful advice to Craig:
INTEGER*1, INTEGER*2, and
LOGICAL*1.
This inspired Craig to add further support,
even though the resulting support
would still be incomplete, because version 0.6 is still
a ways off.

as f2c used in conjunction with gcc.
So far, this has resulted in the three, somewhat
experimental, options added by g77 to the gcc
compiler and its back end.
(These, in turn, have made their way into the egcs
version of the compiler, and do not exist in gcc
version 2.8 or versions of g77 based on that version
of gcc.)
