VAXSCAN

VAX SCAN is a native mode high level language designed for text 
processing that operates under the VMS Operating System. VAX SCAN 
programs can invoke and be invoked by routines written in other VMS 
languages as well as many Run-Time Library routines. This is the 
complete VAX SCAN system, sources and all.

Architecture: VAX, Alpha
Authors: Glenn Everhart
