Alan,

Thanks. 

I went into my installed plplot examples in
/usr/local/share/plplot5.3.1/examples/f77 and copied the Makefile there to
my home directory for inspection. Yes, it is much simpler than the one in
the original directory. This should be what I need to get the job done.

The plplot examples all work, so this will also be a good prototype for my
own makefiles.
