[My apologies if this has been discussed here recently or if
 readers find this a bit obscure; I rarely read this news group.]

I am unable to link a SUN F77 program which contains a call to the
"system" library routine (this takes a string and calls the program
as if you had sent a command line to a shell).  I was also not able
to use a C routine to make the call for the F77 program.  In both
cases I get a message about "_units" being undefined.  The C routine
is fine by itself, as is the F77 program with a dummy C routine.  I
have tried all sorts of library combinations, RTFM, etc. to no avail.

Any ideas about what I'm doing wrong or how to get around the problem?
Suggestions on how I might find an answer would also be very welcome.
Please email replies to mcnabb@ncsa.uiuc.edu -- Thanks!
