This requires +installed runtime support for the C runtime library, which may not be +present on older VAX systems (prior to VMS 6). +To create the executables, just invoke the "link_zip.com" command procedure. +This will generate all executables (both zip with UNIX style command syntax +and zip_cli with VMSCLI command interface), but note that the executable's +extension is ".<cpu_compiler>_exe"! +In case your are on a VAX and your current working directory carries +both the DECC and the VAXC object distributions, you have to specify +either "VAXC" or "DECC" to tell link_zip.com which binaries you want +to build. + +Additionally, link_zip.com defines foreign commands for the just created +executables, so you can test them straight ahead. +If you want to use the default (UNIX like) command interface, you can +proceed straight ahead after unpacking the distribution. +When you rather prefer to use the VMSCLI interface, you have to specify +the option "VMSCLI" (or just "CLI") to the command starting link_zip.com. + +The executables (object libraries) in this archive have been compiled +with the following options enabled: + * VMS_PK_EXTRA (this is the default option) + * [decription support] + +The environment used for compilation was: + +a) On Alpha AXP : OpenVMS(AXP) 6.2; DEC C V 5.6-003 +b1) On VAX : OpenVMS(VAX) 6.2; DEC C V 4.0 +b2) alternatively VAX C V 3.2 + +One final note: +The binary files of the distribution have been archived with "saving all VMS +attributes" enabled.
