I'm not a C expert at all (I mean I know almost nothing). Do you think it would be unfeasible or overly clumsy? I wonder if there is something useful in the freeware or DECUS tapes... But it may took ages to find it. :| Well, first of all, the API as well as some basic paradigms are rather different in Linux than in VMS. Porting anything non-trivial from Unix to VMS often is headaches. Second, while I have not looked at xterm/rterm specifically, I have had big issues with DECnet applications in Linux in the past. They seem to work fairly ok against VMS systems, but almost all have failed miserably when I have tried them against an RSX system.
