DEC C on VMS will also complain about signed/unsigned pointer errors.

I haven't gotten around to attempting the VMS port, however.

Is anybody else known to be working on freetds for VMS?  (The Sybase libraries
for VMS are end-of-life.  Besides, they were compiled with warnings and have
alignment violations.  The linker complains about the former, the profiler
shows up the latter.)
