Paul,

The routines that start with xx_xxxx() are all in gemlib.a. However,
these routines may call other routines in other libraries -
typically cgemlib.a or the GEMPLT routines via appl.a.

The general g77 definitions in $CONFIGDIR/Makeinc.linux for compiling
use the flag: -fno-second-underscore

A typical compile line would look like:

g77 -fno-second-underscore (your source).o $GEMLIB/gemlib.a $GEMLIB/appl.a \
   $GEMLIB/syslib.a $GEMLIB/cgemlib.a $GEMLIB/gemlib.a

You can take advantage of the platform configurations already defined
in the $CONFIGDIR by following the Makefile example
such as $GEMPAK/source/programs/sf/sflist/Makefile.
