<P>
I'm afraid I have absolutely no idea what you need to do. All I can say is
that Jacob Jansen has provided a vms package at:
<UL>
<LI>
<A HREF="ftp://nchrem.tnw.tudelft.nl/pfaedit/">An OpenVMS executable</A>
<LI>
<A HREF="ftp://nchrem.tnw.tudelft.nl/openvms/software2.html#FONTFORGE">With
some information on dependencies</A>
</UL>
<P>
He has provided the following notes:

Notes for VMS created on 17 November 2005
<P>
Compilation :
<UL>
<LI>
-use MMS or MMK in the main directory (the one containing this file)
<LI>
-Ignore all messages about undefined symbols during linking of the shareable
images. I have no idea how to supress them.
</UL>
<P>
To use :
<UL>
<LI>
the file [.libs]libfontforge.exe should be in a directory defined by the
logical SYS$SHARE. So either copy it to it or redefine it i.e.: assign
dev:[fontforge.fontforge.fontforge.libs],sys$sysroot:[syslib] sys$share
<LI>
To use the plugins (an example is in the [.plugins] directory) you have to
create a logical FONTFORGE$PLUGINS pointing to all directories to be scanned
for plugins i.e. define/job/trans=(concealed)/nolog fontforge$plugins
dev:[fontforge.fontforge.fontforge.plugins.] Note that the final "." before
the "]" is essential. Note that both logicals FONTFORGE$PLUGINS and SYS$SHARE
can be defined system-wide, for a group of users or for a single user only.
