  I'm afraid I have absolutely no idea what you need to do. All I can say is
  that Jacob Jansen has provided a vms package at:
  <UL>
    <LI>
      <A HREF="ftp://nchrem.tnw.tudelft.nl/pfaedit/">An OpenVMS executable</A>
    <LI>
      <A HREF="ftp://nchrem.tnw.tudelft.nl/openvms/software2.html#FONTFORGE">With
      some information on dependencies</A>
  </UL>
  <P>
  He has provided the following notes:

  Notes for VMS created on 17 November 2005

  Compilation :
  <UL>
    <LI>
      -use MMS or MMK in the main directory (the one containing this file)
    <LI>
      -Ignore all messages about undefined symbols during linking of the shareable
      images. I have no idea how to supress them.
  </UL>
  <P>
  To use :
  <UL>
    <LI>
      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$share
    <LI>
      To use the plugins (an example is in the [.plugins] directory) you have to
      create a logical FONTFORGE$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.
