Hmmm.  I thought the ANSI standard required that a successful exit status be
defined by keyword.  The exit() function in the VAX C RTL converted zero to one
before the ANSI standard was adopted.  return, on the other hand, left the
value untouched.

Disclaimer:  Hey, I understand VAXen and VMS.  That's what I get paid for.  My
understanding of astronomy is purely at the amateur level (or below).  So
unless what I'm saying is directly related to VAX/VMS, don't hold me or my
organization responsible for it.  If it IS related to VAX/VMS, you can try to
hold me responsible for it, but my organization had nothing to do with it.
