I'd like to start a new topic of discussion, that of what's going to be in VMS 5.0. What new features will it have? What incompatabilities with VMS 4.x does it have? When will it come out? Maybe some of these topics will be covered during the DECUS in Nashville but since there will be many people who arent' going I think a discussion of these topics on the net is warrented. After all, we're all going to have to live with whatever comes out for a long time. Remember VMS 4.0? Jon Forrest ucbvax!mtxinu!blia!forrest

VMS V5.0 has a major internal restructuring. The DECUS session describing it noted that ALL system entry points are now ENTRY VECTORS. No more hard coded symbolic addresses which change on minor releases. If you really want to know the flavor of the changes to VMS in the NEXT major release, see the DECUS Large Systems SIG articles by "Dr. Tops". Remember, VMS is STILL in school, but summer is getting here FAST! Mr. Berkley Shands DECUS Large Systems SIG Steering Committee Berkley@WUNET.WUSTL.BITNET
