Problem:
   When linking FORTRAN and C modules, I receive the error "L2044
_FF_MsgBanner Symbol Multiply Defined." I have set up FORTRAN for C
compatibility, and I am linking with the /NOE switch.

Response:
   When using FORTRAN Versions 4.00 or 4.01 with C, you need to run
the F4COMPAT file to make your FORTRAN libraries C compatible because
FORTRAN Versions 4.00 and 4.01 were written in C Version 4.00.
   If the /NOD switch is used, altering the order of the libraries may
change the error message received. When the FORTRAN library is first,
the error may be "Floating Point Not Loaded." When the C library is
first, the error will be "Symbol Multiply Defined."
