A customer states that on the DECC-V4.0 documentation ("exec
processing" on chapter 5-2-1) one mention that the sockets descriptors are
not dupplicated from the parent process to the child process. On the
DECC-V5.3 this restriction is no more mentioned. Does it mean that with
this version the sockets descriptors are now duplicated from the
parent process to the child one ?
Thanks for any advice.

Jean-Pierre,
Duplicating open files and sockets from the parent to the child
process is a runtime function and depends more on the version of
OpenVMS than the version of the compiler. The headers and the
documentation ship with the compiler, the runtime library with
the operating system.
Beginning in OpenVMS V7.0, sockets are duplicated in the child
process. For those users and ISV's which need to support earlier
versions of OpenVMS, the DEC C V5.6 compiler offers an object
library called DECC$CRTL.OLB which is equivalent to the OpenVMS
V7.1 object library (including socket inheritance). This library
is available only as an object library whose objects are linked
with the application.
