/*  vms.c
 *
 * This module contains the VMS version of the routine SPAWN (from the module
 * MAIN.C) and the routines that do IO to the pseudo terminal.
 *
 * Modification History:
 * Stephan Jansen 1-Mar-1990  Original version
 * Hal R. Brand   5-Sep-1990  Added code to propagate DECW$DISPLAY
 * Aaron Leonard 11-Sep-1990  Fix string descriptor lengths
 * Stephan Jansen 2-Dec-1991  Modify to use new Pseudo terminal drivers
 *                            (patterned after photo.c by Forrest A. Kenney)
 * Patrick Mahan  7-Jan-1991  Removed reference to <dvidef.h> from VMS.C
 *			      Forced device type to be VT102 since that is
 *			      what we are emulating.
