I have a tool for C programmers using VMS, especially those porting facilities
from Un*x.  It prompts for command line arguments (unless you have already
specified some via a "foreign command" or MCR), expands file wildcards found on
the command line, and redirects `stdin' or `stdout'.  Here's a sample use:

main( argc, argv )
  int argc;
  char **argv;
{
  /* local variables */
#ifdef VAXC     /* Or whatever the ANSI-X3J11-conforming word will be */
  extern char **cmd_lin();
        argv = cmd_lin( "", argc, argv );
        /* The first argument provides misc. options. */
#endif
        /* your routine */
}

$ run grep
_command_line_arguments: -i STOP *.for

The source is 40 blocks (600 lines) so I'm not sure where to post it.  I posted
it in comp.os.vms/INFO-VAX.  Anyone not subscribing to that group and wanting a
copy or knowing of a better place to post it please let me know.
