Re: CCL:"ETIME" command in LINUX (f77)

[Lorenzo Pueyo <pueyo \\at// pinon.ccu.uniovi.es>]

 Here you have a routine etime.c that compiles with no problem on a Linux
 box and can be called from any fortran program.
 On the other hand, I have been developing programs on Linux and porting
 them effortless to Convex (and nearly effortless to HP's) for the last year.
 The standard route is to use the f77 shell script directly available in the
 Slackware distribution of Linux. F77 uses f2c in a transparent way to
 translate your f77 code to c, and then it uses the gcc compiler. The process
 is quite fast and clean. The only problem with this method is that using
 the gdb debugger is cumbersome.
