[gnu.emacs.vms] call-process on VMS

laprade@ringworld.harris-atd.com (Ken Laprade) (01/18/90)

Does the call-process function work under VMS?  When I try to use it, it
fails "Searching for program".  Is there a way to trick it into finding
it, maybe by setting exec-path to something?  What should I set it to?
Is there any way to set it up so that I can run DCL commands?  If I do get
it set up so that emacs can find the command, will the vfork() and
subsequent execvp() in child_setup() work properly?

(I am aware of the subprocess-command stuff in vmsproc.el, but I want
to run synchronous processes to do things like fetch from CMS.)
