I think the FSF are working on a Fortran compiler to compliment gcc...does
anyone know any more about this, like when it's likely to be finished?

f2c might not be a good way to compile fortran programs, but

        1) It works
        2) It's free
        3) It's the only way to compile fortran under Linux.
