Subject: Pine 3.90 on VAX/VMS

Hi,

Pine 3.90 doesn't want to compile on VAX/VMS with the VAX C compiler - when I
tried today I got lots of warnings of the form

%CC-W-EXTERNNAMELONG, The external identifier name exceeds 31 characters

Comments anyone?

Dave

well, this happens on the DEC C compiler too. You have two choices, 
1. change the identifier to be shorter everywhere
2. use a #define to define it in os-vms.h

It would be nice if they don't show up in the source at all, this is just 
one of many issues when porting Pine to VMS.

If you can give us a list of identifiers exceeding 31 characters (do we 
really have some of those?) maybe we can shorten them in our source.  Thanks.

This is only a warnning message... Ignore it and continue.
