+<p>vmslib is looking for a maintainer.  If you have time and inclination
+to work on vmslib, please write address@hidden
+
+<p>vmslib helps people port GNU software to VMS.
+
+<p>vmslib is a bunch of files and small routines that can help people to
+port GNU programs to VMS.  It consists of a C function library, with
+routines that are missing in the current system C libraries that have
+been seen so far, maybe with the exception of GNU libc.  In vmslib,
+there are also a bunch of scripts (in VMS terminology, they are called
+`command procedures') which help a lot in writing makefiles, and other
+scripts.  There is more, please read the README file in each directory
+for further instruction.</p>
+
+<p>vmslib is different from the package you usually use by not really being a
+program that you can use in itself.  Rather, you will tend to copy a few,
+or maybe all of the files to whatever other GNU program you wish to port.
+There is one program (really a script) that can be used directly, and that
+is gen_descrip.com.  It is a command procedure that takes an input file
+and generates a makefile, which you can use to automagically copy the right
+files to the right other GNU packages.</p>

+
+<p>Thanks to Richard Levitte for creating vmslib, and maintaining it for
+many years.  Since Richard no longer uses VMS, it's in need of a new
+maintainer.</p>
