I think I know how to convert the current code into VAX compatible floating
point handling code, the only thing I don't know is how to use VMS.  I have
an account, but upon trying to compile even a simple program (test.c), I get
the following linker message and I have no clue what it means...

$ cc test
$ link test
%LINK-W-USRTFR, image USERC:[STUDENT.USERD.R309]TEST.EXE;1 has no user
transfer address
$

or (after looking in the help a bit)

$ link test /executable
%LINK-W-USRTFR, image USERC:[STUDENT.USERD.R309]TEST.EXE;1 has no user
transfer address
