- In article <3026@mitech.com> you write:

- #By the way, LINK/SHARE works a bit differently on ALPHA. Indications I've

- #no longer any "globalref" or "globaldef" stuff, for example. e.g.

- # #if defined(VMS) && !define(ALPHA)
- # globaldef ...
- # #else
- # extern ...
- # #endif
- #
- #was seen.
- #
- #Transfer vectors work differently too.

- Global def's, ref's and value are still supported under Alpha/VMS. And yes
- transfer vectors are different, but only because the calling standard changed.
- Actually, I think it is a good improvement.
