Dan,
What we have done for many years is to declare EXTERNAL the names of
the BLOCK DATA routines that initialize the variables in the labeled
common blocks we're using, causing them to be loaded from whatever
library they have been placed in and thus performing the desired
initializations. It is this technique that does not work with this
particular compiler/loader combination.
You seem to be saying that you have declared EXTERNAL the names of
the common blocks themselves. Is that right?
