I have a list of all opensource software I ported/am running on my OpenVMS
systems:
    http://nchrem.tnw.tudelft.nl/openvms/software2.html
For all packages it is indicated if I'm running it on VAX, AXP, IA64 and/or
X86. I'm still working on getting more packages available for X86

Present ly I'm working on
    lapack : probably straight forward and patches will be published soon.
    wxWidgets : I have a lot of problems with this one
                I changed the obvious in the setup (long, size_t are 64 bit)
		the default for CXX now seems to be 64 bit pointers, but that
		gives problem with the gtk-library and X-libraries which are
		32-bit. Setting the /point=32 gives a lot of abiguous
		overloads. After solving those the program crashes because of
		some pointers seem to be changed (I have not found out yet
		where). Presently I have no idea how to proceed:
		  -use 64-bit pointers and a lot of pragma's for 32-bit
                   pointers when calling gtk/X11
		  -use 32-bit pointers and try to debug.
