That sounds cool. Did it need any modification at the source code level to
run? Did you need to work a lot to get it to build? Did you use a make or some
DCL script to do it? Given the almost complete lack of access to (Open)VMS
(VAX, Alpha or other)  machines by people in this group it's difficult to know
how VMS support is doing.

I would have thought any problems on VMS would have been restricted pretty
well to differences in file specifications and file handling, rather than
anything to do with Xt/Motif, where I thought we had maintained enough
compatibility to run in stoneage Motif environments. I'd be interested to hear
more of your observations, although I don't have any access to VMS anymore.
