Mark - I agree it's probably not a good idea to compile on one version of VMS and run on another, but there are good reasons for doing so. For example, you may use a MicroVax for development (ie: compiling), then copy the programs over to an Alpha for production which only has a run time license. For several reasons you may not be running the same OpenVMS version on both machines.


Sometimes we work in less than "ideal environments".......
