	The subject line sums it up; I want to know what GNU programs run
under VMS.  I know of several: GNU Emacs, GAWK, and Bison (I guess that's
only three, not several) and I heard a rumor that flex does too.

	It seems that since there has been so much work getting GNU Emacs
to run under VMS, the same include files and sysdep.c could be used so
that most other utilities could made compatible rather easily.  I know
that this isn't part of the GNU mission but these programs sure are useful
to we deprived VMS types.

	In particular I wonder if anyone has converted BASH to run as a
VMS CLI (command-line interpreter.)  Pipes would be rather nice!
