Regretably, we don't have the resources (i.e. time, personel, funding)
to make this a cost effective approach.  We've adopted the policy that
when a user's development environment is faulty, then it's the user's
responsiblity to fix it (see below for why I believe your development
environment is faulty).

The fact that your f90 utility failed to link the sample test-program
indicates that your f90 installation is faulty.  I suggest reinstalling
it and/or contacting the f90 vendor.  You might also try to see if the
file "libfj9i6.so.1" exists anywhere on your system and, if it does,
explicitly referencing it in the f90 link-command.

Please feel free to stop by.

By the way, your analysis of the problem and your response to it were
very nice.
