This is really good news, thank you. This is something I’ve been wanting to play with. I’ve used DECwindows quite a bit on my Alpha’s, but never on my VAXen. I have (at least I think I still have it), a VAXstation II/RC with the monochrome monitor, but never got VMS going on it, as I ended up with a MicroVAX II, and then quickly a VAXstation 3100.
There are some VAX/VMS 5.5-2 era things that I want to give a try.
