There is a nice little trick that I've discovered of recent.  If you
have a C main program that calls FORTRAN routines, use "MAIN__()"
instead of "main()", then compile with f77!  The linking is done for you.

There is documentation called "A Portable Fortran 77 Compiler"
(found in "UNIX Programmers' Manual" Volume 2B, at least that's
its location for 2BSD) that might also be of some use.
