Hello again!

I am looking (without access to decent manuals, of course :-( for
the VMS/VAX-C equivalent of the following unix C code:

	if (( pp = getpwuid(getuid()) == NULL ) {
		pwdir = "???";
		login = "???";
	}
	else {
		pwdir = pp->pw_dir;
		login = pp->pw_name;
	}

)) Any help is appreciated.

Side Note: I am slowly building a file of #defines useful in porting
unix c-code to VAX/VMS.  It includes such things as #define _begx _beg_x
and so forth for procedures that use curses _win_st structure, and
so on.  It #includes <unixlib.h> and <unixio.h> automatically.  Any
suggestions for other stuff to put in there?

Thanks, 

Mike
