This is the wrong approach.  Attempting to hide UNIX from your users
with a mask of VMS will only lead to frustration in the long run.
There will be lots of picky little incompatibilities, forcing
everything through a VMS model is inefficient, and you won't be able
to take advantage of the features of UNIX that make it worthwhile.

I suggest you all bite the bullet and learn your new systems, rather
than trying to make them look like your old systems.  Vive la
difference.
