fantastic. thanks for the success report!

The default install *should* try to build the fortran interface, but
it is not nearly as well tested as the c interface.

i don't know f90 very well... if we have to do anything special for a
f90 interface that we wouldn't have to do for an f77 interface, then
maybe that's the problem?

that's how it works in theory :>

nope :> you and troy baer are the only end users who have tried out
our fortran interface.   I'll see what i can find out tomorrow, and
i'll be sure to let you know.

Thanks for exercising the fortran side of things for us.  Sorry you
are running into so much difficulty, but we'll try to get you
straight as soon as we can.
