No need. In a recent edition of DEC/Computing (a random UK trade rag), Ken
Olsen was quoted as saying that VMS is "... almost 100% POSIX-compliant" and
"will be fully compliant soon".

Nice to see Ken so hot on UNIX as an emerging standard. He may have taken a
rather roundabout route to this position, though :-)
