Well, Alpha as an architecture is long dead, though I'm sure some are still running. Look for "2007" on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DEC_Alpha And VMS is OpenVMS these days. Since Itanium is also dead, it's being ported to x86-64 and that's targeted for 2018, per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenVMS But I wouldn't VMS is a mainframe in any current sense, especially since it only currently exists for a dead hardware platform. And it's not maintained by HP or HPE, but by VMS Software, Inc. (which makes some of us laugh who used to now a company called VM Software, Inc., which is almost the same!). Thanks for the diversion-I was trapped on a boring conference call and this exercise kept my brain alive! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
