I should have mentioned that I am running V7 under sunos 4.1.3U_1. I also found another wierd "feature". The demo makefile has some of the smae libraries repeated on the link line. When I take out any duplicates, I get all kinds of undefined functions. If I reorder the libs on the link line, I get different undefined functions.
