I would suggest you get the gcc2.2.2 VMS distribution from
mango.rsmas.miami.edu.

I can't answer (2), but I can tell you that EVERYBODY with a VMS
system has VAXCRTL because it's not distributed with VAX-C (or DEC-C),
but rahter with VMS. Unfortunately, the printed docs are distributed
with  VAX-C and DEC-C, and I suspect the online ones are  as well
(do you get anything when you type HELP CC? The complete on-line
docs for all the VAXCRTL functions are in there, somewhere).
