THESIS:  The AT&T C++ translator emits code that contains very 
l o n g external identifiers.  The 1.2.1 libC.a contains some
identifiers 33 characters in length.

ANTITHESIS: The VMS linker has a 31 character limit on the length
of PSECT names.  VAX C translates extern identifiers into PSECTS.

SYNTHESIS: ??

	Has anybody ported the AT&T translator to VMS (who would be
willing to share their secrets?).  Are there any commercial C++
implementations for VMS (not necessarily based on the AT&T
translator?).  Thank you all very much.
