# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE: # The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. Line # up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|' on # the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. You must make # exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also customary to # leave one space after the ':'. |-----handy-ruler------------------------------------------------------| gcc-g77: gcc-g77 (Fortran support for GCC) gcc-g77: gcc-g77: This package contains those parts of the compiler collection needed to gcc-g77: compile Fortran code. The base gcc package is also required. GNU gcc-g77: Fortran supports a variety of extensions to, and dialects of, the gcc-g77: Fortran language. Its primary base is the ANSI FORTRAN 77 standard, gcc-g77: with some some extensions popularized by the 'f77' and 'f2c' compilers, gcc-g77: other compilers (such as Digital products), and the Fortran 90 gcc-g77: standard. gcc-g77: gcc-g77:
