Dec puts out a manual called Programming in VAX-11 C the number is AA- L370A-TE. In appendix A there is a listing of supported/nonsupported functions. If you are going to use a lot of system calls think twice before porting. You have to use VMS System service routines and you have to learn the calling syntax and types. The routines give you more power (in my opinion) but they are a pain to call at times. Get someone who is experienced with Sys. Serv. routines to give you a hand with recoding system() calls to the System Service routines. John Rouillard Phone:(617) 661-1840 Intermetrics Inc. 733 Concord Ave Net: {harpo, bellcore, ihnp4}!
