i don't know, i've seen C code on VMS, and it's not exactly even close to C on
UNIX. it's got all sorts if weird stuff in it. although it might just be
grunt work to get stuff ported over, i have no idea. as soon as i get things
straightened out here i'll take a look at C on VMS and see what would be
involved in getting stuff ported to it, although something like Postgres is
going to be a butt-load of work.
