I wonder what language they used to write their VAXELN applications ?
Pascal, C or something else ?

BTW, I could never get the DEC C compiler to work with VAXELN (it failed
during linking IIRC), so unless there was some compatibility option
I was missing, it looks like you may have had to use VAX C with VAXELN,
even after DEC C became available.

VAXELN Pascal was supplied with VAXELN itself, but you were able to use
the native VMS VAX C compiler when using C to write VAXELN applications.
