Hi,
   I got a lot of answers and many thanks. The general opinion is to use 
   unix 'system' call (Ex: call system('stty columns 80')). When the user
went
   through the migration manual(VMS to UNIX) he found that the equivalent
   statement for LIB$SPAWN is fork or vfork.
 
   According to the user he can not remove this statement since this program
   is not developed by him and is part of an international project.According
   to him this statement is used 3 more times in the program to make the
   screen width to 132 columns and again to 80 columns.
   I have suggested him to use call system and awaiting for his comment.
   Thanks in advance
     Kumar

Subject: Fortran Question
   One of the user having the following statement in his Fortran program.
   This program was running on a VMS machine which we donot have it any
   more . How can he run this program on Tru64 with Fortran compiler?
   (f90 ). Please give an example if possible.
   The statement is:
   CALL LIB$SPAWN ('SET TERMINAL/WIDTH=80')
    with regards,
