Re: Installing G77

["Tim Prince" <tprince at computer dot org>]

Any method for installing on Windows other than those which begin with a
binary distribution of gcc meant for Windows will not be
straightforward.  gcc-2.95.2/g77 is incorporated in the cygwin
distribution http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin/mirrors.html
