  Seeking programming source code examples? 
 The Question is:
 
As a recent inductee into the world of openVMS and the
dec version of C, I was given the task of writing
smg$routines. I would like to know if there are any c examples of these routines?  The most interesting would be for the smg$create_menu as I have largely figured out the others.
 
Thank-you for you time and energy for the question.
 
 
 The Answer is:
 
  The OpenVMS Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) points to the Digital Software
  Information Network (DSNlink), as the database contains hundreds of working
  examples of calling system services and RTL routines, including the one that
  seems to trip up almost everyone, SMG$CREATE_MENU.
 
  The Wizard recommends using DSNlink for access to programming examples.
  (DSNlink is accessable to sites that have software support contracts.)
 
  Additional resources for examples include the documentation set, the
  SYS$EXAMPLES: area, the Freeware CD-ROM, newsgroup archives such as
  those at INFO-VAX and http://www.dejanews.com/, and various other sites
  around the Internet.
 
  In particular, the archives at http://www.dejanews.com/ have a number of
  discussions of the smg$create_menu call.
 
  Arne Vajhoej posted an example ftp://ftp.hhs.dk/collection/smg_menu.zip,
  though the Wizard believes that website has been relocated recently.
  And an example S_MAIL.C was posted to the vmsnet.sources.d group, which
  includes a call to SMG$CREATE_MENU.
