I always thought VMS was *nix like??? If not what opsys is it similar too or is 
it's own thang
In simple words: No. VMS is similar to ...VMS, and maybe older DEC systems which I don't know (RSX-11 AFAIR).

Few concepts of VMS:
Unix has single root, VMS has "drives" similar to DOS/Windows (AFAIR not drive LETTER, but drive NAME)
both systems use directory, subdirectory concept to for grouping files
another syntax, square parentheses are used for pathname
interesting thing: [...] means "this directory and all subdirectories. Can be used for i.e. DEL *.BAK in whole tree. Filename is file.extension both components up to 40 characters. only two components (qualifiers) allowed. Second qualifier plays role similar to DOS extension, i.e. LOGIN.COM is king of .profile or AUTOEXEC.BAT and it's executable script. Files also have third part: version, usually omitted. Full name is FILE.EXTENSION;version (a number). All file names were uppercase charcters allowed wer similar to MVS. No tricky names possible (try to use filename * in Unix and then delete it). Directories can be nested up to 8 levels. further nesting is allowed, but indirectly: you have to create 'symbolic' drive at some directory level.

Most files are plain like in unix or DOS/Windows, but some file can have internal structure - like PS, or VSAM.

Commands are much longer than in Unix.
Command syntax is similar to DOS, but command names and parameters tend to be longer.
