Caution:

In the depths of time, an engineer did something not-quite-appropriate.  To 
support the X11 ShmGet/Put Image routines (at a time when the CRTL did not 
support shm) they created their own and stuck it into the X11 extension 
library - IT WAS NOT DESIGNED TO BE A COMPLETE IMPLEMENTATION, it was hacked 
to implement the minimum needed for the X11 extension - a clever customer 
discovered the routines and since then it has been used by some customers 
as-if it was intended for general use.  The initial version was very 
limited, but the current version is "reasonably" good.  The college kid that 
designed the MIT X11 shm extension didn't create X11-specific wrappers for 
the shm features - so the guy doing the X11 work on VMS couldn't hide the 
shm names.

If/when CRTL implements a "real" shm - you may need to make changes (at 
least to the link).
