Extract it into your target directory. There’s a README.TXT file there. I believe there’s a dependency on Fortran (6.6) mainly because it apparently slips an update/upgrade of the maths library without which the compiler/runtime has issues. The ‘startup’ command procedure (to be run as part of sys$manager:systartup_vms.com) is very important – a number of logical names are defined, though the image installation as known/shareable is optional. I’ll generate a .HLP file at some point. It looks as though there wasn’t one.

It works very well under 7.3 and has everything, including the idiosyncrasies that I remember. Every time I compile something I keep thinking “at last!” So happy.
