Any Fortran code that includes the "udunits.inc" file via a "#include"
directive will have to be preprocessed via the C preprocessor or
something similar.  Typically, this is done automatically if the Fortran
file in question has a capital "F" suffix (e.g., "foobar.F").  For
example:

    $ cat foobar.F
            subroutine foobar
    #include "udunits.inc"
            end
    $ type f77
    f77 is hashed (/opt/SUNWspro/bin/f77)
    $ f77 -c foobar.F
    /tmp/fpp.29444.0.f:
            foobar:

Does this answer your question?
