[Info-vax] Building latest C-Kermit under OpenVMS gives errors

[Tony Nicholson]

I thought I’d try building the latest source code for C-Kermit from
https://www.kermitproject.org/ckdaily.html on OpenVMS VAX
and Alpha.  The release notes seem to suggest 9.0.305-04
should compile under OpenVMS.

I’m getting missing modules GET_RMS_DEFAULTS and ISABSOLUTE 
when linking (using the $@ckvker “O” build procedure - after I fixed an
error with Multinet include clashes with a #include <time.h>).

The CKVFIO.C module is missing these routines (which are in the older
C-Kermit 9.0.302 sources).  The latest one appears to have changed
to add support for ODS5 volumes.

On a wild hunch that someone here may have been working on
the revised OpenVMS module (CKVFIO.C) - perhaps Steven Schweda
or David Hittner.  Is the version that Frank da Cruz has on the
Kermit web site the latest?

Has anyone else tried to get this compiled - before I dive in and try
to fix this?
