[fa.info-vax] VMS Symbols & Values

From: Mark Johnson <MHJohnson@HI-MULTICS.ARPA>

The way I have been getting symbol values is through two paths.  The
first is to change your example to use:

       $UAFDEF GLOBALS

to define the symbols as external & access them directly from my HOL
program (FORTRAN was the last one I used...).

The other way is to look at SYS$LIBRARY:*.REQ and find the symbol
definitions including COMMENTS that describe what you are looking at.  I
believe STARLET.REQ has the symbols you want.  The macros used are
pretty straight forward w/ word, bit, and size for each symbol defined.
