	I know that there was a notice in this document saying "don't
ask for further VMS support" but I think there would be one nice addition
to this list regarding VMS: indicating which of the programs DOES run on
VMS.  For example GNUPlot runs under VMS.  Right now the only way I
can see to find out which do and which don't is to ftp every file,
decompress it and search the .tar file for archived .COM files!  I only
found out about GNUPLOT/VMS by accident, when I needed a plotting program
and our VMS node was down, so I ftp'd GNUPlot to get a quick (!) plot
and saw all these COM files in the distribution.

	Can this be added? Or maybe a .VMSPROGS file available at prep.ai
which lists the VMS-ported programs?  Please?
