Thanks Arne (and everyone here)!

This sample fortran program is basically the specific sort of solution I was looking for.  I've been busy with other things the last week but I'll try to give this a shot when I have more time.  It may not be worth the trouble but I do have a use case that involves running parallel fortran-based models on both linux & VMS and being able to FTP simple binary files back and forth than can be read & written on both linux & VMS without much extra effort has real value.

I was also just looking for general info here and appreciate the wealth of it provided here (this google group is really the only public place to get this info as far as I can tell and is truly an amazing resource for OpenVMS amateurs like me).
