I am having trouble with the f2c file.
I have downloaded it twice from 'barnacle...' and obtained identical
files.

(1) I get a scampble when unzipping it.  The first file which comes
O.K. is build.bat.

(2) When I run the binary f2c I get strange results.
(a) On a 386/387 machine with DOS3.3 with NO djgpp installed I get
    no action at all.  f2c just returns to the command prompt.
(b) On a 486 machine with DOS4.01 and djgpp installed I get a null
pointer violation for every line of input, from file or from the
screen.  The only output is the introductory message and #include for
f2c.h.

I am keen to use the program.  Please let me know what the
requirement is from the DJGPP environment for this to work.  I have
been using Version 1.06 of DJGPP system.

Thanks
John

P.S. I shall be away for about 2 weeks, so won't read answers after
today till I get back.
