You may not believe this, but they are the same, except that the "E" and the
"F"
are lower case.  If I change ncx.h to have lower case E and F for X_FLOAT_MAX,
it compiles fine!  nc_test/tests.h also would need to be changed.

The other option would be to use the new DEC C compiler under 3.2 "cc
-migrate".
This works with the current header files.

Another option
