THAT is the correct error-message:

save_vel.o(.text+0xcd1): In function `MAIN__':
: multiple definition of `MAIN__'
main.o(.text+0x0): first defined here
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2.3/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: Warning: size of symbol `MAIN__' changed from 5155 in main.o to 5 in save_vel.o

Thanks for the tips, but all subroutines were compiled with g77 under
linux. 
When I copy the subroutine save_vel into 'main.f', the compilation works
fine. Why? Is it a 'makefile'-mistake?
