Jim,

This is the only combination that we have tested, so effectively the
answer is yes.

We originally setup the make files (msoft.mk) to use LLIBC7.LIB but changed
when another user complained that not everyone had floating point coprocessors
installed in their machines.

I believe that you should be able to link with LLIBC7.LIB as long as you
explicitly declare it in the link line.

Simply substitute LLIBC7.LIB for LLIBCE.LIB and try to relink.  If you are
using a default (i.e. not declaring which C library to link against), then
explicitly declare LLIBC7.LIB.  You can look in the netcdf232/fortran directory
at msoft.mk to get more guidance on how we did the distribution.
