Hi-ho,

I have been using MS Fortran 3.13 (Hey...YOU!...stop that
laughing!!!)...

I used an F77 compiler on VAX, Burroughs, and Prime
systems, now I'm trying to use MS Fortran (old version,
very kludgey...THREE separate compile programs ...sigh)

Anyway, my prob is this;

It compiles single programs fine and links them fine
and everything works OK. However, when I go to use
subroutines (external that is) , it compiles but 
won't link - it tells me I have unresolved externals.

Believe me, I have tried a zillion things!, the manual 
says NOT to use the external statement for subroutines
(even if they ARE external....figure THAT one out!!), 

I have tried with External statement, without it
etc etc.....but I always have this prob...

anyone out there, please help....or I'll......I'll...
oooh boy I'll buy a MACINTOSH!!!, I swear I will!!!!
