Sigh ... Richard Stanton already reported problems with Windows95. I did
my tests on NT and those did work.

Could you please remove the "-s" from DLL_LDFLAGS in the Makefile and
retry? The stripping of the DLL may be causing problems.

Expected. It's there so you would look at the f77dll.def file to make sure
it's what you expect.

I'll test on a Win95 system hopefully today and see if I can find the
problem.
