	It is indeed possible to run f2c-generated C code under MSDOS.  It
does take some extra work, however, since the I/O and math libraries must
also be compiled on the MSDOS machine.  You might also have to adjust the
typedefs in f2c.h to match your memory model.

	There were some problems with older versions of the f2c libraries,
but these have been fixed.  So if you grab a current copy of f2c, libf77,
and libi77 from research.att.com (in directory dist/f2c), and find a good C
compiler things should work out.  I've heard that Microsoft C 6.0 and Turbo
C++ have been used successfully.
