[Rd] Free-form to fixed-form Fortran

[Ales Ziberna]

Thank you for your reply!

I know I can use g77 with -ffree-form. However, I do not know how to make a 
package so that when others would build a package, these subrutines would 
compile with "-ffree-form". I heard of "makevars" and flags, however I read 
on the mailing list archives that they are ignored on Windows.

If your only concern is to build it, you may try using g77 with -
ffree-form. This should work with GNU Fortran. However, that limits
the availability of your package to GNU compilers only.
