Good guess (there is an unrelated Unix command named "df" to report the
number of free disk blocks), but in this case "df" stands for Digital
Fortran, the name of a Fortran compiler designed for use with the MS
Visual C development environment (Microsoft no longer sells a Fortran
compiler).  In the msoft.mak file you are using, there is a macro
definition

  FOR=df

that specifies which Fortran compiler to use.  If you have a different
Fortran compiler, edit this definition to specify yours, then try
running "nmake /f msoft.mak test" again.
