bin:csh.com sets nocontroly so that the job control inside csh will
work properly.  Eunice uses the VMS ^Y AST mechanism to implement the
SIGTSTP signal.  Setting nocontroly allows only Eunice (not DCL) to
handle the ^Y AST's.

I believe initgbl attempts to create a contiguous file for efficiency reasons.
If you don't have enough contiguous space on your system disk to create
vforkcomm.gbl (we don't have enough space either), you can specify
a different filename with the -file argument.

The C compiler is straight from 4bsd, appropriately munged to handle
VMS symbol name conventions ($'s in names, etc.).  The assembler has been
modified to produce either Unix or VMS style relocatable modules.

Spell should work; if it is not installed just run the makefile and it
should come right up.
