- It could be that the VMS ALPHA compilers have some VAX-C compatibility in them,
- such that (sort of)
-
- #define globaldef
- #define globalref extern
-
- but it could be that whoever was hacking OSF-MOTIF decided to RUB IT IN
- that there was something funny about VMS on the VAX, or perhaps an early
- version of the VMS ALPHA C compiler didn't have those two trivial items.
