I tested stat with a simple C-program on VMS-Alpha. The size of the file
was correct. Therefore the error does not seem to come from the stat
function.

To fix the code you need no alpha-station.
You can get online-accounts for several OS's here:
http://www.polarhome.com/
The only thing is, you need to spent 10 credits (-> 10 $, 10 Euros, ...,
at least 2 US$) to get an account. Then you can use the VMS-Alpha for
development with all avilable compilers and services for non-comercial
usage. No additional monthly fee is required.

You can also use a freeware Alpha-emulator for x86 and install OpenVMS
hobbyist (freeware, but media charge required - $30) on it:
www.personalalpha.com (Emulator)
www.openvmshobbyist.org (OpenVMS hobbyist)
