HP might have a need to have this supported. A case could certainly be made to have Gnu C/C++ available for the OpenVMS platform to enhance the viability of the platform, I would think.

They're already doing a lot of kind of work with Apache, PHP, Java... so, it might be hard to get their attention. -Jordan Henderson "Weaseling out of things is important to learn.
