This is the Debian GNU/Linux prepackaged version of the GNU FORTRAN 77
compiler.

This package was put together by Galen Hazelwood <galenh@micron.net>
from sources obtained from:
 ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/g77-0.5.20.tar.gz

To compile this package, you will also need the sources for gcc-2.7.2.1
(as patched for debian) available.  See README.DebianBuilders in the root
source directory for more information.

Changes:
 * added Debian GNU/Linux package maintenance system files
