Unfortunately, the answer is no. If Cmake was available, it would have
been either on VMS freeware CD or on the "Unix on VMS" kit cleverly
called GNV.

For the freeware CD, abstracts of packages, and the packages themselves
are available on:

GNV and other Open source tools are available at:

Thanks,
