It's been over a year since I've used VMS, so some of this may be outdated or
just plain wrong, but...
VAX FORTRAN:
open (unit=lun, name='whatever', form='unformatted',
& recordtype='fixed', organization='sequential',
& access='direct', et infinitum)
read (unit, recnum, data, etc.)
c (doesn't put you on a byte, but rather a record)
VAX C:
[very hazy on the open here]
fp = fopen ("name", "+rb");
fseek (fp, byte_offset, 0);
Hope it helps a little...
