It can be applied, but it's not complete, and sometimes extraneous.  So
far, I've identified an issue with a definition in MPI.H that is
erroring off the compile -- looks like something was added in between
1.02 and 1.04.

Most do.  There are some of the changes that were picked up in the
original source and corrected in v1.04.  For example, the mods to G10.C
don't need to be made, as well as OPENFILE.C.  There are 2 points in
ENCR-DATA.C that match the change Dave recommended, so I did both.
PACKET.H has been corrected by the maintainer, so you don't have to fix
that.

I am handing the porting at our site off to a programmer, so I'm not
going to be able to offer any more detail on this (although I'll be
sure that she's aware of this thread -- you're reading this, right
Heather?)  Our problem (?) is that we don't have any UNIX boxes (such a
problem!) to run the config on, so we can't make makefiles here, unless
we do it by hand.  David M., if you are still interested in working on
this, we would *really* like to get an updated MAKE_VMS.COM for v1.04!!!

Best & good luck,
Aaron
