   Well, for motivation, a simple C program built on Linux using   
   cross compiled gcc/binutils worked just fine on Alpha VMS for me. :-)   
   It's the one bit I did get working.   
      
   I wish you well with Fortran. If you do get it working, I would   
   be interested in you posting here what you had to do to get it   
   to generate executables that run OK on VMS.
