A night made portable programming example using the GNU Readline
Library is available at http://vouters.dyndns.org/tima/Linux-HP-UX-OpenVMS-libreadline-GNU_readline_usage_example.html

Currently this programming sample has been successfully tested on both
Linux Fedora 16 and OpenVMS IA64 V8.3-1H1. The produced sys
$library:readline.tlb was missing the correct file protections so that
it could be used by any account on a cc command. This has been
corrected in the VMS descrip.mms producing the GNU Readline output
files in their final location. I now realize I am also perhaps missing
the correct VMS file protections when copying this software C headers
into HP GNV /usr/include. Feedback by users would be welcomed.

The code at this URL above is awaiting for this week-end to come to be
also fully tested on HP-UX B.11.31 IA64 using the provided
information.
