Safely, yes -- but it'll give an error message

%NONAME-W-NOMSG, Message number 00000000

which may not be dangerous but it sure is annoying.
In VMS the "All OK" message is 1 (I think all odd numbers
will exit quietly); in some programs I have code like this:

#ifdef vms
	return 1;
#else
	return 0;
#endif

and avoid using 1 as an error code.

Isn't VMS wonderful with C?  :-(
