SRI/Stromasys has Charon-AXP It runs under Linux, IIRC, they've even a VMWare appliance, but it isn't much more than a Linux + Charon build. They've a non-commercial version here: http://www.stromasys.ch/virtualization-solutions/virtual-alpha-on-windows/download-charon-axp-nce/ Unfortunately, each build has built in expiration dates, and run limit timers. So its really only good for experimental purposes, since its my impression the commercial version is very expensive. It did run AXP OpenVMS 8.4 when I last dinked with it.

Really! I saw it twitch!) IMO, its not so much the kernel, its the administration tools. You can admin a VMS (and Linux) system from a command line. Windows, not so much. (Though it is my understanding this is getting better with recent Windows releases via PowerShell) David _______________________________________________ Simh mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.trailing-edge.com/mailman/listinfo/simh
