We ran into the same problem with another code and simply resorted to loading
them as object modules.  The problem, as I understand it, is that since nothing
references the block data modules (i.e., calls them), the loader will not pick
them up out of a library.  Loading them as object modules forces the loader
to include them.

Is there something akin to the /INCLUDE option that the VMS LINK command
employs to force load object modules in libraries out there?  I don't think
so, but I've often been wrong before.
