The include syntax can be compatible. The syntax <dir/file> is covered by
a logical name dir pointing to the correct directory. ie.
$ define sys sys$sysroot:[syslib.sys]
What version of IP are you planning to use. I heard of at least one
person who implimented a socket interface to CMU/TEK TCP/IP. It isn't
actually a total nightmare.
Its not impossible to write a awk/sed script to convert makefile to mms for
98% of the code.
Last time I looked, the VAXCRTL accepted unix style path names. The is because
of the ultrix/vms transportablility desires.
I have never seen a easy unix->vms port where the port wasn't considered
at the design or code-up stage. This code is better then many things (
like ucb/talk.)
