What you did looks correct (though I'll need more information).  We've
never used a FORTRAN-to-C translator on the ftest.f program, so I'm
currently leary of that.

Would you please do the following:

    1.  Go to the fortran/ subdirectory.

    2.  Remove the following files: ftest, ftest.o, ftest.f.

    3.  Execute the command `make ftest.f'.  Trap the output and send
        it to me.

    4.  Send me the file ftest.f.

    5.  Execute the command `make ftest.obj'.  Trap the output and send
        it to me.
