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.
