+So it might be possible to run DCL on Linux. A rather

+of the options seems to indicate that
+[PC-DCL](http://users.skynet.be/michel.valentin/) might be an option.

+
+While a rewrite is preferred, a port might be possible. Some interesting
+links on getting VMS FORTRAN running on a Linux/Unix system:

+ using a proprietary tool called FTP. Need to contact them about
+ licensing.
+ * Things to [look out for](http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/225).
