What makes you think calloc() is VAX-specific? I checked with K&R:
section 7.9 Storage Management contains calloc(); with Lattice C:
had also calloc(). Now sure my ST is fast but would you call it a
VAX??  Ultrix has calloc (see man 3 malloc) (and |Ultrix - BSD| < eps);
VAX-VMS has calloc (now there's a VAX); on my work calloc is in the
ansi.h header file we use for portability (so it should be in the ANSI
draft):

    extern void *calloc(size_t nmemb, size_t size);

I think you were mistaken with cfree() which is not as general (VAX-VMS
has it).
