Yes, actually. I do. Since I was the poster of this program I know a
thing or two about it. Unfortunately note enough things, but I can
answer this question.
In the readme file, there should have been a reference to the .cld file
that the program needs. You should do a $ SET COMMAND VERB.CLD and have
EXE$DIR defined to point to the current directory (quickest and easiest
way that I know of is DEFINE EXE$DIR 'F$ENVIRONMENT("DEFAULT")). Then
just type VERB verb, and it will give you the definition of verb on your
terminal.
I just looked the distribution I made, and sure enough, there aren't explicit
instructions on it's setup. And the instructions on it's use were a little
vague (and found in the BLURB.TXT file). The command file stuff is the
crtical bit here.
Sorry for any confusion that I may have generated. :-(.
