[Info-vax] Name shortening in C

[Joukj]

Hi all,

when I use the option /name=short when compiling C-code long names are 
mangled in a 32-character string. All is documented in the 
CXX$DEMANGLER_DB. files.
I would like to create a routine that I can feed with a string and which 
gives the shortened string as output, without needing to (inefficiently) 
read all the  CXX$DEMANGLER_DB. files.

The question is : is the algorithm which is used documented/available?
