Hi,
   I'm attempting to port a radioastronomy software package (the Caltech
VLBI package for those that are interested) to FreeBSD 2.0. A lot of the
code is in FORTRAN and the f77 that comes with FreeBSD seems to be 
compiling it all pretty well (f77 uses f2c and gcc doesn't it?). 
However I run into problems when trying to link the object files, as
the code relies on lots of Vax specific routines (the package was
originally written for Vax/VMS). This isn't a problem under SunOS or
Solaris as there is a library, libV77, containing all the relavant
routines ported to Unix.

   Has anyone written a port of these routines to FreeBSD?

Thanks,
Jim
