I am trying to port Rich Lamb's dcp package to vms.
I didn't get this from comp.sources.misc.

What I did get was missing the low-level IO routines for vms, and
the host.h file, etc, etc, etc.

I am putting it all together now, and things seem to be going
well...  However, I am uncertain of what the behavior of sread
should be.  The calling sequence is:

sread(buf, bufsiz, timeout)

Where timeout seems to be 0 or 1.

Timed reads in VMS of 1 second, as I recall, are not enough if
you really want 1 second (2 seconds is required).

If somebody has a working version of dcp for vms, could you send
me your version of sread?  Or, if you know what the behavior should
be, could you give me a hint?  Please E-mail the response.
