*Warning:* The information below is still under development, and
might not accurately reflect the `g77' code base of which it is a part.
Efforts are made to keep it somewhat up-to-date, but they are
particularly concentrated on any version of this information that is
distributed as part of a *released* `g77'.
In particular, while this information is intended to apply to the
EGCS-1.2 version of `g77', only an official *release* of that version
is expected to contain documentation that is most consistent with the
`g77' product in that version.
An online, "live" version of this document (derived directly from
the mainline, development version of `g77' within `egcs') is available
via `http://egcs.cygnus.com/onlinedocs/g77_bugs.html'. Follow the
