-removed the "porting library", since it seems to be corrupt for new
versions of the CRTL. Now VMS-file names are not translated to
"unix-style" and vice versa. Only "unix-style is alolowed for the
moment. To force CRTL routines to return "unix-style" filenames one
has to define DECC$FILENAME_UNIX_REPORT to ENABLE, before running
fontforge.
i.e.
$ define DECC$FILENAME_UNIX_REPORT ENABLE
$ fontforge
$ deass DECC$FILENAME_UNIX_REPORT

Compilation :
-use MMS or MMK in the main directory (the one containing this file)
-Ignore all messages about undefined symbols during linking of the
shareable images. I have no idea how to supress them.
To use :
-the file [.libs]libfontforge.exe should be in a directory defined by
the logical SYS$SHARE. So either copy it to it or redefine it
i.e.:
assign dev:[fontforge.fontforge.fontforge.libs],sys$sysroot:[syslib] sys$share
-To use the plugins (an example is in the [.plugins] directory) you have
to create a logical FONTFORGE$PLUGINS pointing to all directories to
be scanned for plugins
i.e.
define/job/trans=(concealed)/nolog fontforge$plugins dev:[fontforge.fontforge.fontforge.plugins.]
Note that the final "." before the "]" is essential.
Note that both logicals FONTFORGE$PLUGINS and SYS$SHARE can be defined
system-wide, for a group of users or for a single user only.
