An excellent source for your project would be new DIGITAL manual entitled
"RSTS/E-VMS Compatibility Guide".  It's Order Number is EJ-31490-41 and should
be available form "your normal DIGITAL source."

"This manual is for users, programmers, and system managers who are 
operating in a 'mixed' environment - either coexisting with or in the
process of migrating from RSTS/E to a VMS system." [or the other way
around ....{:-)  ]

The 2" manual explains the simalarties and "got-cha's" between the two
systems.

Good luck. It took DEC and a bunch of users about 2 years to produce this
manual.
