Questions: 

I have a question on the OpenVMS delta time limit problem.

Does this problem also affect FORTRAN programs running on
VAX/VMS (not OpenVMS), which call the RTL routines You 
mention in Your notification letter ?

Thank You for Your help,
best regards

The problem affects programs in any language which call the LIB$ routines
for manipulating delta times and which compute a delta-time difference between
the current date and January 1, 1970.  There is nothing in the Fortran product
itself (compiler or run-time library) which is affected by the 10K day limit
problem.
