All I can say is that Jacob Jansen has provided a vms package at: <UL> <LI> <A HREF="ftp://nchrem.tnw.tudelft.nl/pfaedit/">An OpenVMS executable</A> <LI> <A HREF="ftp://nchrem.tnw.tudelft.nl/openvms/software2.html#FONTFORGE">With some information on dependencies</A> </UL> <P> He has provided the following notes: <P> Notes for VMS created on 17 November 2005 <P> Compilation : <UL> <LI> -use MMS or MMK in the main directory (the one containing this file) <LI> -Ignore all messages about undefined symbols during linking of the shareable images. I have no idea how to supress them. </UL> <P> To use : <UL> <LI> the file [.libs]libfontforge.exe should be in a directory defined by the logical SYS$SHARE. So either copy it to it or redefine it i.e.: assign dev:[fontforge.fontforge.fontforge.libs],sys$sysroot:[syslib] sys$share <LI> To use the plugins (an example is in the [.plugins] directory) you have to create a logical FONTFORGE$PLUGINS pointing to all directories to be scanned for plugins i.e. define/job/trans=(concealed)/nolog fontforge$plugins dev:[fontforge.fontforge.fontforge.plugins.] Note that the final "." before the "]" is essential. Note that both logicals FONTFORGE$PLUGINS and SYS$SHARE can be defined system-wide, for a group of users or for a single user only. </UL> <P> </DIV> </BODY></HTML>
