Well not that is much help, but the vfork() call to DEC C does make use
of a CLI called VFORKCLI which is in SYSEXE generally.  This is not of
much aid if you don't have a DEC C compiler, but then again you could dig
into those FAB's and make a simple one.  Or perhaps connect to a pseudo
user, but as I remember that hack leaves a rather gapeing security hole.
(where are you again... :-) ).
