   The C/TCPIP RTL on VMS can do most things of that sort.

   Why not use the existing C code?

   I wouldn't put forward as a model any of the stuff which
I've done, but there must be a boatload of freeware out there
which does IP stuff on VMS.

   There's a QIO interface for this stuff, so you could, in
principle, do it from any language, but why you'd want to go
through that ordeal to mutilate a perfectly good C program is
a mystery to me.
