I have a problem in that I need to run a stats package (SAS) on a vax 750 running 4.3 BSD, or a mvax II (Ultrix) and unfortunately SAS will only run under VMS. No plans are in the pipeline for a Vax Unix version. The push to have this package or a similar one (SPSS) running is so strong that I will have to actually put VMS up on a microvax unless I can come up with another option. Putting up VMS to run one application will also mean I have to change the 4.3 to Ultrix on the 750 and use DECnet to replace the Berkeley internet network I have currently running. (because there is a Decnet-Ultrix gateway, but no 4.3 to decnet) All this for the sake of SAS is an incredible amount of stuffing around but what can I do? Does anyone have any suggestions about running a VMS application in Unix enviroment particluarly a 4.3 Unix environment? Or alternatively a network option but having 4.3 BSD on the 750. Thanks, doug@wapsyvax.oz
