Thanks to Alexandre for his answer but I still have some questions (I'm new 
to GNU software, I'm Borland C++ 3.1 user):

- G77 is a compiler and linker all in one isn't it? (I'm using the GNU G77 
version 0.5.19, it comes with the EMX Dos extender)

- What do C libraries have to do with this? Is G77 "just" a Fortran-2-C + 
C-Compiler? In any case I'm using (or trying to use) the libraries that come 
with the G77 package (the .a files in the lib directory).

- The g77_info-8 file describes the Date_and_Time routine, doesn't that mean 
that it is part of the package?

Thanks again to Alexandre and to any one who can give me further help.
