Subject: A bug in VAX C language -- missing rename

It's not a bug, the problem stems from the fact that the C
runtime-system is shipped with VMS, not with the C compiler.
The rename() function (together with system, memcpy etc.) is
relatively new, and comes with the vaxcrtl shipped with VMS
4.6. The solution is either to upgrade to VMS 4.6, or to
write your own rename function. The latter is not very hard,
I wrote one before we got 4.6, please feel free to contact me
if you want a copy.
