Real Men don't use IEEE on VMS.  They use F_FLOAT and D_FLOAT
and COBOL and FORTRAN 77, none of this fancy Fortran 90 or C crap,
let alone C++.  They drink coffee, not Jolt or that silly
caffeinated water, and since they're still mad at Coca Cola
for foisting that "New Coke" on us way back when, they drink Pepsi.
Real Men read the listings on fiche and write state tables for
lib$tparse in Macro.  Without a manual.  Real Men use underscores
instead of MixedCaseNames and their decterm colors are green or
amber on black.  :-)

This is, of course, a major change.  Point me towards a tarball
and I'll try a non-IEEE build.

Brad
