I'm sure Ketan does, but he's strictly "here" on a volunteer basis now (he
left for greener pastures but is still on daip for now).

I will punt advice on the algorithm specifics to others in the group, as
I've not used OMFIT myself.

Did you cut/paste these from the screen, or extract them from a .LOG file?
If the latter, there may be stderr messages missing...

FWIW I was able to COMLNK the 31DEC99 version of OMFIT with no errors on
one of our Solaris systems (2.6, 77: WorkShop Compilers 4.2 30 Oct 1996
FORTRAN 77 4.2).

That is odd, especially if there were no intervening stderr messages.  I
assume it's repeatable...

FWIW here's my link attempt:
