	Since you own Language Systems Fortran, which outputs MPW .O files,
and LightspeedC has a .O Converter, it seems to me that you should be
able to  oConv the Fortran compiler's output and add the libraries to your
LightspeedC project. Be sure to watch out for things like data initializations
and segment directives, which oConv will ignore....
