I'm trying to use the Compaq/HP Extended Math Library (CXML) on a

Fortran 8.2 and CXML were part of the Hobbyist distribution I

CXML complains that FORRTL is not present or the version is too low,
(it is not present - $Product show product - )
What am I missing?
I haven't used CXML but I have done a lot of FORTRAN.
As far as I understand it, language specific runtime libraries
including the
FORTRAN one come with the base operating system and do not normally
show up
separately in $ PRODUCT SHOW PRODUCT.
In VAX days, the relevant file was SYS$SHARE:FORRTL.EXE. On Alpha, it
looks
likely to be SYS$SHARE:DEC$FORRTL.EXE, however, it may not be quite that
simple as there are also other translated images present which may be
accessed
using a logical name - $ SHOW LOGICICAL *FORRTL*
Try writing a Hello World FORTRAN program. If that runs ok, your FORTRAN
runtime library is at least present and you probably need to
concentrate on
finding a newer version.
If you have the extended message help installed, $ HELP /MESSAGE
may give you some helpful hints about whatever error message you are
getting.

Yes, there is a SYS$SHARE:DEC$FORRTL.EXE in SYS$COMMON:[SYSLIB], which
was put there when the Fortran compiler was installed. I can compile,
link and run ordinary Fortran programs. However, I forced the
installation of CXML and tried to compile one of the examples and that
failed - couldn't find INCLUDE 'CXMLDEF.FOR'.
I found this on the net and shows CXML installed in a different version
of OpenVMS -
The system is a Digital Personal Workstation 500au:

and what I see is that there is a FORTRAN, FORRTL and CXML product
installed. I can't seem to find anything about the FORRTL product.
