- I know your joking, but anyway. you should understand that C is not
- a unix language. C on VMS does not use unix routines or emulation or
- any of that. C is a structured and modular language that can access
- any of the vms system calls. Posix allows portability because you can
- use the same call on any system. The posix calls on VMS most likely
- will map in the compiler to normal vms system calls. Unless you are
- writing indexed file record oriented stuff (COBOL) you should really
- consider learning VAXC.
