PS:
Can someone provide a shell account on an IA64 box running VMS 8.3, I
can continue working onSamba. I am no longer with HP and hence no
access to a VMS box.

If it doesn't require privileges for porting efforts, you could sign up
for a HP TestDrive account which has VMS V8.3 on I64 systems and access
is provided for this kind of purpose (amongst others).

I have a testdrive account. The last I checked, it did not have MMS,
compiler etc... that I would require for development.

And when was that?

td183 $ mms /id
%MMS-I-IDENT, MMS T3.8 © Copyright 2006 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P

td183 $ cc /vers
HP C V7.2-022 on OpenVMS IA64 V8.3

SYS$MANAGER:WELCOME.TXT claims much/many more.

I will need just
enough privileges to define system wide logicals and someone need to
create an account with few identifiers. [...]

I'd advise sending e-mail to testdrive@xxxxxx to discuss such
requests.

The new case-sensitive MMS may be expected to cause some problems for
the case-careless user, but it's probably an improvement.
