Well, this probably didn't make it to the list (it has a 200K limit). 
Sorry, I meant to write you to make it available on a web page, so that
I could pick it up.  However, it did arrive in my mailbox (all 8516169
bytes of it :-) successfully.  Unfortunately, make_executable fails at
the third source file:

f77 -c -O -ffixed-line-length-132 -fdollar-ok -fno-globals
-fno-automatic -fno-second-underscore -Wno-globals -I. -DUNIX -DLINUX
-DG77 evtsel_user.F
In file included from evtsel_user.F:8:
evtsel_user_declare.inc: In subroutine `evtsel_user':
evtsel_user_declare.inc:1: 
         include '/sitka/home2/e787/pass2/98/anal/include/scaler2.inc'
         ^
Unable to open INCLUDE file
`/sitka/home2/e787/pass2/98/anal/include/scaler2.inc' at (^)

Note the hard-coded path (and two others - I repaired them by hand).

Then:

f77 -c -O -ffixed-line-length-132 -fdollar-ok -fno-globals
-fno-automatic -fno-second-underscore -Wno-globals -I. -DUNIX -DLINUX
-DG77 unixfi.F
make: *** No rule to make target `summary_nt_dummy.o

At this point I gave up.  I don't know how to proceed.

Some things to try at home:

1. Add -finit-local-zeros to the FFLAGS
   This will start of all unitialised variables with zero - a common
   but mistaken assumption in Fortran code.

2. Add -fbounds-check to the FFLAGS
   This will add checking code for array bound overruns.

Success !
