   Several months ago, I needed to emulate the POSIX semaphore routines.

   Next time I saw release notes (8.4?), POSIX semaphore routines were
   supported.

   But I don't have that release of VMS at home, and I assume I never will
   on my VAX.

   I'll bet I can emaulate them on top of your mutex code, so thanks for
   posting actual technical content in c.o.v.
