OpenVMS ports of Freeware software

This page gives an overview of the packages I'm running on my OpenVMS system. for several of them I did some porting
work to get them working on OpenVMS. Please send your comments tojoukj@hrem.stm.tudelft.nl

         click here to get information
         Note1 : Although some request were made the original author of this package is not going to include the patches needed
                for VMS.
          Note2 : The VMS version expects that the file extenstion of compressed files end on "-bz2" which is different from the
