Subj:	RE: FWD: Any idea on this C porting question?

The SHELL$ entry points were undocumented (except for a small passing ref.
in Appendix B of the VAXCRTL documentation) and unsupported by the C RTL team.
For Alpha/VMS we are providing supported, documented versions of those
routines, but not with the SHELL$ name, but with a DECC$ name.

We have not yet added the necessary information to the appropriate header
file, where we will include #defines to map the SHELL$ names to the DECC$
names.

In the meantime, you can add this define to the code as follows:

	#ifdef __ALPHA
	#define SHELL$IS_SHELL DECC$IS_SHELL
	#endif

and it should work fine.
