Bugs Not In GNU Fortran
=======================

   These are bugs to which the maintainers often have to reply, "but
that isn't a bug in `g77'...".  Some of these already are fixed in new
versions of other software; some still need to be fixed; some are
problems with how `g77' is installed or is being used; some are the
result of bad hardware that causes software to misbehave in sometimes
bizarre ways; some just cannot be addressed at this time until more is
known about the problem.

   Please don't re-report these bugs to the `g77' maintainers--if you
must remind someone how important it is to you that the problem be
fixed, talk to the people responsible for the other products identified
below, but preferably only after you've tried the latest versions of
those products.  The `g77' maintainers have their hands full working on
just fixing and improving `g77', without serving as a clearinghouse for
all bugs that happen to affect `g77' users.

   Note: Collected Fortran Wisdom, for information on behavior of
Fortran programs, and the programs that compile them, that might be
*thought* to indicate bugs.
