Thanks Tim!? I knew there had to be a script/tool out there somewhere to do that.? I
figured it would be a perfect thing for Perl also.

At one point, I do remember seeing certain VMS sources, but I don't recall the
context.? It might have been when I was still with DEC.? I guess you can't even
threaten to pay them to get any, huh?? Bummer...
OpenVMS source is/was available for a price.? The price was *somewhat* lower
if you were an employee.? As I was of HP between 2006 and 2008.? One of the last things I
did when I knew I was being laid off on 31-Dec-2008 was order from internal sources a
bunch of OpenVMS CD sets.? I got VAX V7.3,? AXP V8.2, V8.3, IA64 V8.2 and V8.3 source
sets.? Cost me under $200 and I ordered a few other bits and pieces along with.? I imagine
if you were non-HP/Compaq/DEC then the prices were much, much higher.? I wish I had been
around when V8.4 came out but I wasn't.? I had a line on someone that had the V8.4 but
it fell through.
There is a great tool for processing those listings called CVTLIS.? Written by Hunter
Goatley at Process Software.? You can find it here:
http://vms.process.com/scripts/fileserv/fileserv_search.exe?package=cvtlis&…
I'm pretty sure I made some changes to my local copy that recognises Compaq and HP
C.? Nothing major, just names.
