Greetings

I'm trying to wrap my arms around what steps I need to take to get Diffutils 3.3 running on a OpenVMS Alpha server.  I looked at the readme files and it's not clear to me where I should start.

In the VMS_NOTES.TXT file  I found this;

SET DEFAULT [.DIFFUTILS-3_3A_VMS.VMS]   ! For convenience.

      MMS /MACRO = (LARGE=1)    ! Non-VAX (with large-file support).
      MMS                       ! VAX.

My guess is MMS needs to be defined as a symbol?  Any help you can provide would be great!

Thanks!
