I have a problem...I have a package of library routines written in FORTRAN
and I'm trying to write C programs that call them.  I've gotten everything
to work except the following:  if I call my main routine "main()" everything
compiles but fortran output is directed to the file "fort.6" which is
supposed to be connected to the terminal.  If I call my main routine "MAIN_"
(as, I guess, it would be called in the C intermediate code from the fortran
compiler??) the fortran output and input are connected to the terminal.  The
problem is that I want my main routine to be called "main()" and NOT "MAIN_()".
I don't know if you even get argc and argv as parameters with "MAIN_()", but
that's beside the point.

Any solutions?  Any suggestions?
