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. Scott Michel, Wittenberg University Springfield, OH 45501 Voice - (513)327-5676 "Hey Scott!!!" Thanks to Mark Erlbaum for letting me use his account to share this info. -------
