		-------  FLIB2C.README --------

  'flib2c' is an abbreviation for 'Fortran LIBrary to C'.

  'flib2c' is a tool to create header files that provide a simple and
easy-to-use interface between FORTRAN (library) routines and C. The
differences between the FORTRAN and C calling sequences are hidden in a
header file that has to be created for every FORTRAN library. 'flib2c'
simplifies the task of creating a header file.

  There exists another package that solves this problem in a totally
different way:
  ftp.rus.uni-stuttgart.de:/usr/pub/unix/programming/fortran/cfortran.h-2.8.tar.z
In my opinion the current solution is more general and easier to handle
than 'cfortran.h'. 'flib2c' was developed independently from 'cfortran.h'.

  The 'flib2c' package is in the file 'flib2c.tar.gz'.
