Years ago, there lived on our machine a directory tree called [TOOLS...]
(it might even have been [DECUS.TOOLS...], which contained a bunch of
programs and libraries which I later recognize as being VMS FORTRAN
emulations of Unix commands and software tools routines.  I modified the
WC (Word Count) program heavily for use in various lexical analysis
procedures of ours, but in time, the library disappeared and only the
.EXE file was left.  Now no-one here knows where to get those tools
back.  This means that if the image is ever lost or becomes incompatible
with a future release of VMS (I think it was linked under 3.7!), we will
lose all of the utilities that depend on it.  I am looking for those
tools: specifically I want SOURCE CODE for routines with names like
PUTCH, INDEXX, PUTLIN, GETCH, etc, and all routines they depend upon.
FORTRAN was the original language and would be best; however C will do.
Can anyone help?
