Many thanks to the legion who responded to my posting.  To summarize, the two
most useful (for my purposes) suggestions:

- Use LIB$CVT_DTB (a VMS RTL service) I received two responses with this
- Use Internal READ (with format (BN,I3) so I can have left justification)
  I think I must have received 1000 responses with this. 

The library routine is a little better for my uses.  Now, can you PLEASE stop
responding ? :-)
