(go to: table of contents, index)
What needs to be done is:
Some work has already been done by creating a special version of GETPATH.C
in [.VMS]VMS__GETPATH.C.
Currently, everything is running from the 'development directory tree'
([PYTHON...]). Access to the library is just 'hacked to make it work'.
Multi-platform support (Alpha / VAX) is unclear.
within the directory tree mentioned above.
Changes to the development environment so that users can make use of the
building instructions without privileges. The 'development directory tree'
([PYTHON...]) should be able to live in a user's subdirectory.
Better navigation between web pages:
It should be possible to go directly from one page to the other (or the
previous one) without returning to the table of contents.
Some implementations of gmtime() in the OpenVMS C
run-time library return NULL (to indicate they do not support timezones) which
Python (in [.MODULES]TIMEMODULE.C) cannot cope with. A workaround is in
VMS__GMTIME.C which, however, returns just the local time.
