The include syntax can be compatible.  The syntax <dir/file> is covered by
a logical name dir pointing to the correct directory.  ie.
$ define sys sys$sysroot:[syslib.sys]

What version of IP are you planning to use.  I heard of at least one
person who implimented a socket interface to CMU/TEK TCP/IP.  It isn't
actually a total nightmare.

Its not impossible to write a awk/sed script to convert makefile to mms for
98% of the code.

Last time I looked, the VAXCRTL accepted unix style path names.  The is because
of the ultrix/vms transportablility desires.


I have never seen a easy unix->vms port where the port wasn't considered
at the design or code-up stage.  This code is better then many things (
like ucb/talk.)
