2		UNIX f77 System Interface Library
3			February, 1981

6This library includes all generally useful system functions that are not
7required by the ANSI standard.  Some of the original libF77 routines are
8here (getarg, getenv, iargc). Some Unix functions are not provided because
9they would be very awkward to use from f77 (eg. pipe, popen *).
10
11The user interface to these functions is different in some cases from the
12C equivalent. This is primarily to make them easier to use from FORTRAN.
13This library is still expanding, but additions should be judicious.

15Install the sources here in parallel with the libI77 sources. Then:
16
17	make libI77.a
18	make install
19	cd man
20	make install

24* These will be added to libI77/f_open in the near future.
