The above indicates that the fortc(1) utility didn't correctly transform
the file jackets.src into jackets.c.  `NAMEF(ncpopt)(val)' should have
been converted to `NCPOPT(val)'.  Go back to the machine where you
executed the fortc(1) utility and verify that it's doing the right
thing.

The statement that the m4(1) utility (which is executed by the fortc(1)
utility) must be run on the UNICOS system is incorrect.  The workaround
that I mentioned has been used by many UNICOS sites.
