We are having great difficulty installing NCAR GRAPHICS on an HP9000-835SE
running 3.1.  Among the problems are:
the machine-dependant routines that must be
properly implemented for our system. The code is predominantly in Fortran
with calling sequences to C support routines. These calling sequences are
system-dependant. Also, the HP Fortran has a slightly different syntax
than standard. The result, at compilation, is many source code errors
throughout hundreds of files. A debugging strategy is not a reasonable
alternative here. Has anyone run into this problem and how has it been
solved?  or can anyone let us ftp over the executables and supporting files
so we can get running?

Thanks in advance.
