  Of course, at 2:00 in the morning I never think to check references.
I got the attributions backwards!  Fort is the DEC compiler / F77 is
the MIPS compiler.  The links are still changed, only now, installing
the MIPS compiler links everything to f77 and installing DEC fort
changes those links so that the command f77 invokes the DEC fort
compiler.

	note that the release notes for DEC fortran (along with the
libraries, etc.) are stored in /usr/lib/cmplrs/fort (once they are
installed).  version 2.1 of the MIPS f77 compiler is stored in
/usr/lib/cmplrs/f772.1. 

In any case, dec does have a fort for the risc line - but it gets
invoked with f77 if you follow the instructions in the release notes!
