Using GCC v2.2.2 on VMS, I have compiled indent-1.5 under
VMS v5.5.  However, it doesn't work.  The problem is that
apparently when indent reads the source file, there are null
characters in the input, which indent treat as end_of_file
tokens.  So, usually, no output results, but sometimes one line
will come out.

I used the VMS DUMP command to look at a typical sources file,
and it does look like there are null characters after the new
lines.  This seems really bogus, and I couldn't find a quick
work-around.  

If anyone has compiled GNU Indent, or BSD Indent, or anything 
under VMS, using VAXC or GNU C, then please let me know.  Thanks...
