OpenVMS Freeware
In house, Quadratrix uses a number of OpenVMS freeware packages.
Also, a number of libraries written by engineers at Quadratrix are put in the public domain.
All libraries and applications mentioned hereafter have been compiled and linked on OpenVMS VAX V7.2, OpenVMS Alpha V7.3-1, and
OpenVMS I64 V8.2, unless stated otherwise.
For every application or library are listed:
- the name,
- a brief description,
- a reference to the original 'tarball',
- the dependencies (if any),
- and a link to a ZIP file containing a BACKUP saveset with the build procedure (QPORT.COM) and, as the case may be, files modified vis-à-vis the original 'tarball'.
To build an application or library, the original tarball has to be downloaded and unpacked (using Gnu Zip, VMSTAR, Unzip).
Thereafter, the patches provided should be applied. For applications or libraries with dependencies, the QPORT.COM file may need
modifications as to tell it where to find these dependencies.
Should BACKUP complain about any of the savesets downloadable from this page, execute
this command procedure to fix it.
