VMS support contributed by Jouk Jansen (joukj@crys.chem.uva.nl) I compiled the libs on a VMSAlpha7.0 system using DECC5.3. But earlier versions may work as well. The make files were tested use the DIGITAL make utility called MMS. There is also a public domain clone available (MMK) and I think, but it is not tested, that this utility will give no problem. To make everything just type MMS (or MMK) in the main directory of mesagl. For MMS the deafult makefile is called descrip.mms, and that is what I have called it. I included alse some config files, all having mms somewhere in the name which all the makefiles need (just as your unix makefiles).
