I'm having troubles unpacking f2c.  I sent to netlib@research.att.com to get 
the f2c program source.   I unpacked it on a DECSTATION running the lattest 
version of ULTRIX.  I received  all the sources files and ran the makefile.  It
told  me that there is a  problem with a certain file so I sent a message to
netlib@research.att.com for  a new copy of that file.  It fixed the problem 
with that file, but there were are checksum problems with other files.

I tried using diff instead of cmp on the two files checksum files and noted 
that there were many differences.   So I requested a new copy of the entirety
of  f2c and tried again.   I experienced the same problem.

DECSTATION and ULTRIX are probably registered trademarks of Digital Equipment
