Disclaimer: I am not a VMS person. But I have done a lot of work with configuration scripts over the years. In my opinion, your code would be much more future-proof if you made positive tests than negative tests. E.g., "if alpha or ia64" rather than "if not vax".
Perhaps you know that the VMS world will never have a 4th platform, in which case maybe you can live with "not vax". But at least in the Unix world, it is hopeless to test for "not" anything; there are over 30 variants of Unix out there, and only positive tests have a chance of working over many years. PG Steven M.
