FWIW:  The current version of PCAL (v4.7) for OpenVMS and other
platforms
can be found at:

	ftp://www-pi.physics.uiowa.edu/~dyson/pcal-4_7-vms.zip

I don't believe it has any of the problems David found with a very much
older version.  It also has tons more options then this older release.
It is also much more VMS-friendly and compiles for OpenVMS
out-of-the-box.
