VMS Help RTL Routines, LIB$, LIB$ESTABLISH  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    The Establish a Condition Handler routine moves the address of
    a condition handling routine (which can be a user-written or a
    library routine) to longword 0 of the stack frame of the caller
    of LIB$ESTABLISH.

    This routine is not available to native OpenVMS Alpha programs
    but is recognized and handled appropriately by most Compaq high-
    level language compilers.

    Format
