Thanks! I may be able to do build a working system for VMS in
this way. I think I could get a Alpha Tru64 UNIX system for
this purpose, or certainly a Windows NT system (if this is a
cross compilation option).
You might mention this possibility on the freepoplog site, in case
I flounder. Someone doing a web search for such things on VMS
might not be alerted to the possibilities.
