    Patrick,

    In the example "cpex08", the function SECOND is expected to return the
    elapsed run time, in seconds. The version in the file "cpexcc.f", is
    a dummy that prints an "error" message telling the user, essentially,
    "Replace me!". It appears that, on your system, there is a system
    function called "SECOND" and that's causing problems for the loader.
    Since the timing information printed when "cpex08" is run is probably
    not of much interest to you anyway, you can just comment out the line
    in the routine CAPSAP that references "SECOND" and the entire dummy
    version of it. Then you can run the example using

      ncargf77 cpex08.f cpexcc.f ; a.out

    and look at the graphical output using

      ctrans gmeta

    Hope that helps ...

    Dave Kennison

    PS: I'm assuming the "3D" in there is some artifact of the way you sent
    your email? (There is no function called 3DSECOND.)
