Hello!
I want to install VMS::Queue module on my Alpha VMS 7.21 system, however I
after many try I am still unable to compile it on VMS. My "C" compiler is
installed as "CXX" therefore I need to make some changes in "DESCRIP.MMS"
file (CC/DEC to CXX). After running MMS I am getting followings errors :
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I copied "VMSISH.h" file as "UNIXISH.h" in core directory, but then I have
started getting many other errors as below:

I don't know much about VMS and C++. I would highly appreciate if someone
could guide me to resolve this problem.
Thank in Advance.
