	Time to give up on VMS C (i.e. VAX-11 "C").  Shortly (a matter of weeks)
	to be available from the Free Software Foundation is GNU "C" for VMS.
	It is invoked with the same command line syntax as VAX-11 "C".  It produces
	object code that is compatible with VAX-11 "C".  It even produces object
	code debugger records, so full VAX-11 "C" style source level debugging is
	available (just like VAX-11 "C").

David:

My chief complaint with VAX-11 "C" is not the compiler, its the run-time
library (VAXCRTL) ...  will GNU "C" have a library that works?
