Which model, VMS' asyc system? Sure, some of them. There are limits to 
what's acceptable, but the limits are pretty broad. Generally you're not 
using the C RTL that much in an AST handler--most of the interesting work's 
done with system services. (But, then, VMS has a very rich set of system 
services, so it's not a problem)
