Since I have no access to VMS, I cannot be sure that this will compile
cleanly on VMS.  However, I know that people do successfully compile and use
slrn on VMS.

Use VMSMAKE.COM.  It is reported that DESCRIP.MMS does not work at all.  If
you are experienced with writing files for mms, feel free send me whatever
changes are required to get this one to work.  I suspect that the problems
stem from MMS/MMK incompatabilities.

(The above comment regarding DESCRIP.MMS may nolonger apply)

You may have to edit VMSMAKE.COM if you are not using MULTINET or using VAX
C.

Note from zinser@axp602.gsi.de regarding [slrn.src]ucx.opt :
            The library listed in there isn't necessary on OpenVMS for
            quite a while now and actually causes the link to fail,
            since it is no longer existing. 

If you are using DEC C, compile [slang.src]slang.lib using deccmake.com.
Basically this sets the compiler flag /prefix=all.

VMS-SLRN.HLP is a VMS style help file for slrn.

Good luck.
