Front End
*********

   This chapter describes some aspects of the design and implementation
of the `g77' front end.  Much of the information below applies not to
current releases of `g77', but to the 0.6 rewrite being designed and
implemented as of late May, 1999.

   To find about things that are "To Be Determined" or "To Be Done",
search for the string TBD.  If you want to help by working on one or
more of these items, email <gcc@gcc.gnu.org>.  If you're planning to do
more than just research issues and offer comments, see
`http://www.gnu.org/software/contribute.html' for steps you might need
to take first.
