Not surprisingly as this is mostly OS dependent.

On Unix it goes like this:

1. Make object files from your Fortran source code:

	g77 [compiler flags] -o <source>.f

2. Make a library from all object files:

	ar r <lib>.a *.o

3. [ Depending on the exact Unix OS you either do or do not do this step
]
   Make an index for this library:

	ranlib <lib>.a

Hope this helps,
