-In release 1.4, there are quite a few hand modifications to the C code
-that was automatically created from the Fortran code with f2c. They
-are all summarized in change log comments at the beginning of the
-changed files. All of the original files from f2c were checked in to
-RCS before modification, so it is possible to see exactly what changes
-were made, for the extremely curious. That precaution was also for my
-benefit, in case I ever recompile the Fortran sources, and want to
-make similar changes to that new C source code.
-
-Below is the README file for this directory included with the 1.3
-release of the LPC-10 package. A few parts of it are a little out of
-date, but it is correct for the most part.

-To create the LPC-10 library, copy the appropriate makefile to the
-proper name for easy use, e.g., for Unix, copy makefile.unx to the
-file "Makefile". The file makefile.dos has been used with some
-version of the 'nmake' utility that comes with the Microsoft C
-compiler (the same one used for Nautilus v1.5a, which I believe
-specifies Microsoft C version 7.0 or later).
-
-Then edit the file lpc10.h in the directory above. It should already
-be set up to work properly on any Unix compiler for which "int" is 32
-bits and "short" is 16 bits, and under the Microsoft C compiler
-configured so that "long" is 32 bits and "int" is 16 bits. There must
-be a typedef for the two types INT32 and INT16 in that file. You
-should choose types that compile to those sizes using your compiler,
-because there are places in the LPC-10 code that expect INT16's to
-have exactly 16 bits (at least, I *think* they must be no larger), and
-INT32's to have exactly 32 bits.

-A few notes on how these files were created
--------------------------------------------
-
-(This section is mostly for my benefit, so I can remember what I did.
-You don't need to read it if you just want to use this package. It
-might be useful to read it if you change the Fortran sources and want
-to recreate a usable library of C sources. -- Andy)
-
-These C sources were created automatically from the Fortran sources
-using f2c, for the most part. Listed below are the extra
-modifications that were made after this automatic conversion. Many of
-them were made so that it was not necessary to install f2c in order to
-use this LPC-10 coder.
-
-1.
-
-Put all of those files that were necessary for only the coder, rather
-than an application that uses the coder, into this subdirectory called
-lpc10.
-
-2.
-
-Copied f2c.h from the f2c distribution into this subdirectory. Some
-modifications were made to the "typedef" statements in this file, to
-explicitly indicate the sizes (in bits) that different integer types
-should be. The types INT32 and INT16 must be defined in a file called
-lpc10.h in the directory above. Created the file f2clib.c, containing
-only the functions pow_ii(), r_sign(), and i_nint() from the f2c
-library.
-
-3.
-
-The f2c output originally had a file called contrl_com.c, that defined
-a small structure containing a few variables that were used in many
-different functions of the LPC10 code. Every file containing
-functions that used it defined it as "extern", while contrl_com.c
-actually allocated storage for the structure. Bill Dorsey, one of the
-lead developers of Nautilus, said that the Microsoft C compiler had
-problems either compiling this file, or linking it with all of the
-other compiled files, so he just eliminated that file and removed the
-"extern" keyword from the one of the files that declared it that way.
-The file chosen (arbitrarily) was analys.c.
-
-4.
-
-Copied the makefiles for Unix and Microsoft C from the Nautilus v1.5a
-distribution into the lpc10 directory. Modified them to take out
-references to Nautilus. These makefiles don't create an executable,
-but a library of compiled functions called liblpc10.a (Unix) or
-LPC10.LIB (DOS). This library can be used when linking an executable
-that calls the functions lpcini_(), lpcenc_(), and lpcdec_().
