There is a VMS C Handbook (brown cover) that rather nicely describes the degree to which VMS C supports code from other systems. One of VMS's main advertising points is that all languages can be intermixed, so undoubtedly you can link together C and Fortran objects on VMS. You really should be asking such questions of your DEC representative.
