Subj:	generating definitions files for VAX C

Since the question "how can I generate .H files from VMS defintions"
has been asked so often, here's the definite command procedure to do it.
Call it C_DEFS.COM and invoke it by
        $ C_DEFS  PCBDEF        ! e.g.
to obtain PCBDEF.H . It will handle all "standard" VMS definitions
starting with "$DEFINI xxx,..." and define the same symbols that a
macro programmer has available (no structures, of course).
