Yes, but GNV comes with a compiler driver that converts gcc syntax into
VMS compiler syntax at least for C code. I don't know if it works with
the VMS Fortran compiler.

I think the surprising thing here is that you have just confessed to
having a Linux box. :-)

Just use it on your Linux box and call it a day...

You have also just confessed to knowing how to use Unix shells. :-)

Are you really Phillip ? :-)

If you install GNV on VMS, you should be able to use the same commands
there and see what it gives you. If you do a recursive single column
directory listing of just the filenames (ie: without any attribute
information) on both boxes, you should be able to use GNU diff to compare
the different listings.

I prefer unified diffs BTW, ie: "diff -u" as I find them much more readable.

Simon.
