Yup, and I haven't had a VMS workstation in front of me for ages, nor do I expect to have one in the foreseeable future either. fullermd> What's the downside?

The C and X11 libraries on VMS have evolved quite a bit as well, so I expect a number of those not really needed these days. My recommendation for any future person would be to start over. fullermd> What say we? Toss it.
