Hi,

I just got a copy of Microsoft Fortran 2.2 and have lost
my patience trying to link some external subroutines.

The main program "J2.ftn" compiled fine, and it calls subroutines
"SUB1" and "SUB2" which are located in file "SUBS.ftn"
which also compiled fine once I turned on the "R" (subprogram
compile) option.

The fortran compiler produced a file "J2 APL" and "SUBS.sub".
I went into the linker and said "f J2" followed by "o SUBS"
then "g", and it complains of unresolved references to 
"SUB1" and "SUB2" even though they should be found.

So, how am I suppossed to be linking this stuff?  Also,
Microsoft has done a horrible job with this product in
my opinion - I'm using it since the it is the only
Macintosh Fortran the University has.
