You put it in the middle of a declaration. - The style in this file is to avoid parentheses after '#if defined'. - Can you be more precise about what "DEC VMS compiler" means: - Which version of the C compiler? - Which version of VMS or OpenVMS? We need this info in order to decide what to do if some time after you someone else comes and says "but it doesn't work on VMS, the code should be different".
