Ray-

Steve Chiswell is out of town until next week, so I can't give you
a definitive answer on this.  As far as I know, he has not tried
compiling using the FORTRAN 90 compiler.  We do not support that
compiler.

You could try changing the line:

FC     = fort77

in the Makeinc.hpux file $NAWIPS/config directory to whatever your
FORTRAN 90 executable is and see if that works.  You might have to 
look up the flags for that compiler and set FOPT accordingly.  It may
be that there is a flag for the f90 compiler to act like an fort77
compiler.

Once you have made the mods, copy Makeinc.hpux to Makeinc.common.

That change should set the compiler macro for all the makefiles.  However,
I have no idea whether this compiler will work or not for GEMPAK.  We
do not have the FORTRAN 90 compiler on our HP box to even test this.
