Or because RMS isn't a database? Even an ISAM file is a very different beast from a database. Come to think of it, you might deduce this from the fact that DEC built database products on VMS, DBMS (a CODASYL database, whatever that means) as well as RDMS (a relational database, built I think when that concept had just appeared). paul

I never could figure out why would anybody need dbase IV when RMS was built into the VAX file system? I once did a media conversion from Vax to PC where the programmers said the uVax II was as slow as molasses, then I found that they had the data stored as a flat ASCII file !

I have never like the Wordperfect people. They killed my friend's business. He had vaxes that he rented time on, also charged a huge amount of money per seat week for WPS training.

I think it’s tied in some way to the distribution ID. They use their own licensing mechanism. I just checked, I have a copy of the v5.0 “WordPerfect Workbook for VAX/VMS Systems”, I’m pretty sure I had more than just that book, but I’m not sure if I still do. The other book(s) would likely give info on installation and licensing. On a related note, was there ever a copy of dBase III or dBase IV for VAX/VMS? I know there was a version of Lotus 1-2-3. Zane
