Dave Moore recently ported the utility macps (used for printing
Macintosh-generated PostScript files from a unix host) to a VAX VMS host.
We got a copy of macps from sumex-aim.stanford.edu (36.44.0.6), under
info-mac/unix/macps-22.shar.  According to Dave, the port involves the
following:

1) Bracket with #ifdefs the system specific include files (on the VAX
   strings.h resides in sys$library not sys/)
2) Bracket out the "strcat(..'/')" in MACPS.c so that ucblib is not
   turned into a unix style path.
3) The compilation statement is:
     $cc /define=(CONFIGDIR="""MACPS_DIR""",SYSV) macps.c
     $cc /define=SYSV macaux.c
     $link macps,macaux,sys$library:vaxcrtl/lib

   This indicates that the directory (CONFIGDIR) where macps.config and
   the Laserprep header files reside is MACPS_DIR (a VAX logical).
   Use the SYSV define to indicate that the VAX C compiler is SYSV
   compatible. You don't need ucbwhich.c if you do the above steps.

   The program is executed as follows (due to VAX DCL ):

   $macps :==$MACPS_DIR:macps ! define macps as foreign command
   $define sys$output out.ps
   $macps in.ps
   $deass sys$output

   This, in effect accomplishes what the > does in Unix, i.e., redirects
   stdout to the file out.ps.
