In article <4b9o82$7s1@gap.cco.caltech.edu>, I asked:
[ In GCC 2.7.0, Slackware 3.0, libf2c.a is in ELF format only... ]
|> 
|> Is there an official version of an a.out-compatible libf2c.a available
|> for Linux?

In private e-mail, Wolfgang Wander <wwc@lars.desy.de> suggested that I
rebuild the library from sources, compiling in a.out format.  Mark Taylor
<mark.taylor@bristol.ac.uk> said that the Slackware 2.3 version was in
a.out format.  And finally, my colleague, Chris Walter
<walter@cithex.caltech.edu> found the package LIBF2C on a SunSITE mirror
<URL: ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/devel/lang/fortran/f2c-951007-libs-
1.1.tar.gz> which turns out to have a.out format libraries; so I
installed it in my /usr/i486-linuxaout/lib/ directory, and it worked
great.

Thanks to everyone for their help in resolving this situation!
