Because Fortran-77 does not have a standard mechanism for including
other files, the file "udunits.inc" is designed to be included by
the Fortran preprocessor (which is the same as the C preprocessor).
This means that the file "readgeneral.f" should use the following
statement:

#include <udunits.inc>

Also, the Fortran compiler, g77, should be told to preprocess the
file "readgeneral.f".  This can be done by renaming the file to
"readgeneral.F" and by using the option "-I$UDUNITS_INSTALL/include"
--- where $UDUNITS_INSTALL is the installation directory of the 
UDUNITS package. 

So, do the following: 1) modify the "include" statements in the
file; 2) rename the file; and 3) use g77's "-I..." option.
