Thanks for sharing this with us.

When compiling this stuff I got (apart from your specific directories) 2 
problems

  1) in isam.com scan_globals_for_option.com is calledbut missing in the 
distribution. However I can guess what happens here.

  2) when running @vms_vbisam.com I get:
spawn-tango-jj) @vms_vbisam.com

     *buflen = isreclen;

isreclen is a member of a structure but not a global variable. No idea 
what is meant here.
