Thanks Clem and Johnny for at least confirming what I suspected. I worked with VMS on Vaxen in the 80s, At the time I wished for an opportunity to compare VMS with UNIX on the same hardware. In the 90s I worked with UNIX, mostly AIX on RS/6000. Today I mostly use Linux, though I have a couple of Alphas in working order. I run OpenVMS and Linux on those.
I keep looking for a way to get a "real" UNIX going, hence the ULTRIX experiment. As far as I can tell, neither Tru64 nor HP-UX have any kind of hobbyist licensing program available and I am just "playing" with stuff at this point, I was looking for another way to get at UNIX here at home. ULTRIX appears feasible, but even the documentation is less complete than what we have for OpenVMS. Finding installable versions of tools like EMACS is a real snipe hunt. Also, thanks to everyone for the discussion on processor history and development over the last week or so. It has been very interesting. --Gary _______________________________________________ Simh mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.trailing-edge.com/mailman/listinfo/simh
