To whom it may concern:
I recall reading a while ago that ATT was discontinuing support
for Unix on DEC equipment. Albeit that DEC has Ultrix, if you want to risk
using VMS, Wollongong Assoc. makes a product called Eunice, a BSD 4.2 shell,
with all the standard system calls, etc. You also get the on-line manual
system, nroff, troff, Franz Lisp, lex, yacc, Berkeley Pascal, spell, etc.
I admit that you have to be crazy to even use VMS ( a 2 Meg monster), and
that VMS is slow as pond water spawning shells, but the Wollongong product
I have found to be useful and well tested.
For more information, call the Wollongong Group at (415) 962-7168.
