	I ported it to VMS.  I also ported the info.cern.ch WWWLibrary v2.09a
and WWWLineMode browser v2.06 to VMS.  You can get the modifications from my
gopher server (sci.wfeb.edu 70) in  WFEB FileServer/ (we don't have aFTP
here).  I didn't try to fix the bugs.  They're the same on VMS as on Unix:

	For both, the VAX/VMS HELP gateway (http://vxcrna.cern.ch:80/) doesn't
work.  In addition, for Lynx2-0-11:

	1) The aFTP gateway doesn't work.
	2) The TechInfo pages are not searchable.
	3) It still misses anchors in http://www.civeng.carleton.ca:8001/
