    Dear Ramesh,

    It looks like there's an incompatibility problem between your Solaris 7
    machine, and the machine that we built NCL on. We built it using
    version 5.2 of the Fortran compilers:

    % f77 -V
    f77: Sun WorkShop 6 update 1 FORTRAN 77 5.2 Patch 109506-05 2001/06/03
    Usage: f77 [ options ] files. Use 'f77 -flags' for details

    If you are running an older version of Fortran, then this may
    cause a problem.

    You can try downloading the Solaris 6 binary for ncl from:

       http://ngwww.ucar.edu/ncl/download.html

    and see if this works on your system. Usually binaries are forward
    compatible; that is, they should run on newer systems.
