I've been using Logitech m-2 for VMS for about a year and a half now at our
institution.  It has a complete interface to the system calls and the
screen manager calls, not for the lib$ calls however, and you must specify
ALL arguements, forget about option arguements unless you specify your
own implementation module.  As for code quality, it seems to be pretty good
except for the odd things it does to preserve variable scope.  For example
if you pass an array of whatever by reference, it makes a local copy of the
array in the subroutine.
