Subject: How do I link WITHOUT sharable libraries?
Newsgroups: comp.os.vms

I would like to create an EXE file which does NOT use sharable libraries
like VAXCRTL, LIBRTL, etc. when it executes. Instead I would like the
routines to be linked directly into the original EXE file. The intent is
to produce an EXE file which can be run on other cpus without depending
on that system having the right version of the sharable libraries.

I used to do this all the time on a DEC-10, but the local VMS gurus don't
think it can't be done with VMS. My immediate concern is for a C program,
but the problem could exist with Fortan as well. Thanks.
