In article <3026@mitech.com> you write:
#
#By the way, LINK/SHARE works a bit differently on ALPHA. Indications I've
#gotten (e.g. months ago from OSF/MOTIF source codes) are that there is
#no longer any "globalref" or "globaldef" stuff, for example. e.g.
#
#     #if defined(VMS) && !define(ALPHA)
#     globaldef ...
#     #else
#     extern ...
#     #endif
#
#was seen.
#
#Transfer vectors work differently too.
#

Global def's, ref's and value are still supported under Alpha/VMS.  And yes
transfer vectors are different, but only because the calling standard changed.
Actually, I think it is a good improvement.
