Linking Fortran code

[Naomi Altman <naomi@stat.psu.edu>]

One of our graduate students asked me to forward this message:

Hi all, 
I need to link a f77 code with splus. 
Under Unix, Splus3.4 allows for dyn.load function. But, I am using an old
code and one of the subroutine 
has more than 50 arguments. It doesn't allow that. The other version we
have is Splus6. It does not even have dyn.load capabilities. 
When I use dyn.open function, it requires .so (shared object), not .o
(object). When I created .so file, then it gives segmentation error.
And we don't have in-between versions of Splus. 
Under PC, Splus2000 only allows for .obj file created by Watcom compiler
which I don't have. 
I am having all sorts of problems in linking fortran and splus. I'd
appreciate any help.
