Erick,

jackets.src is a template which is used in conjunction with sed and m4
to produce the jackets.c routine for an individual system.

>Can jackets.src be compiled and linked on VMS?

This is not a source file.

We include a version of jackets.c that has been specially prepared for
VMS in the src/fortran/vms subdirectory.
