	I have a problem with the way VMS C reads and writes fortran carriage
	control files, and hope that someone can help me out.

	VMS C attempts to translate the carriage control information into C
	equivalents (a "1" in column 1 into a \f, etc.).  I think it does a
	lousy job - but aside from that, I'd like it to skip the translation,
	so that I can worry about the details myself.

Try fopen(file,mode,"ctx=nocvt").  (Described in Table 4-1 of the VAX C
Run-Time Library Reference Manual.)
