#        I have decided to try to see if I can port a VAX/VMS FORTRAN
#Xlib program to a Sun SPARCstation IPC using SunOS 4.1.2, OpenWindows
#3.0, and Sun FORTRAN 1.4.  Is there any chance?
#
#        The VAX FORTRAN code used the VAX bindings of the Xlib calls
#(X11R3, I think).  I will need the X11 include files as a start.  I have
#looked through my /usr/openwin/include/X11 directory and have not found
#anything yet.  If I had used the VAX MIT/C bindings on the VMS side,
#would I fare any better?  I am not familiar with any other examples of
#Xwindow calls from FORTRAN outside of the VAX examples I have.
#
#        Besides a suggestion to re-write completly in C, does anyone
#have a comments?

Rick,

You are pretty much out of luck with porting this code to other platforms.
Only Digital has (as far as I know a Fortran interface to X).  You could 
try to convert the .h files to Fortran include files and call the C Xlib
routines directly.  Otherwise, it just maybe wiser to switch to C.
