Maybe I'm not understanding how f2cl is supposed to work.

I try loading "tmp.lisp" (with clisp, sbcl, or gcl) and I get a
complaint about the package FORTRAN-TO-LISP being
undefined. OK, maybe I'm supposed to (load "macros.l")
and then (load "tmp.lisp"). Nope, complaints about F2CL-LIB.
OK, I'll try loading f2cl0.l through f2cl8.l and then macros.l.
Well, clisp is happy with that, sbcl complains a lot but
apparently succeeds, and gcl can't get through f2cl1.l.

I looked at f2cl/NOTES but it doesn't seem to have any
instructions or examples. I looked for other README-type
files but I didn't see any.

How is this supposed to work?

Thanks for the pointer, I'll take a look.
