I have some FORTRAN modules that I am trying to connect to
a C driver. How can I declare the object FOO in COMMON/BAR/
so that things link properly?  Is there some ld(1) trickery
I should know about?

Judging from the output of f2c and the internals of gdb,
something like a structure declaration should do ...?

I am presently using SUN F77 and C compilers, but this will also
have to work with Turbo C and some yet to be determined 
PCish FORTRAN compiler.


Suggestions appreciated.
