We have a version that a former staff member ported to VMS.  Our version is at a
very old patch level, but has been sufficent for our use so far.  It has not
been updated to reflect the pathes in the past 6-9 months.  If someone wants
what we have done up to now (and wants to update it), I can make copies
available.
