Not really, no. VMS can't easily support a true Unix-style fork, and
currently doesn't. (Unless the COE stuff's out) Some of the core
engineering decisions behind VMS--the security, quota, and file
locking stuff mainly--makes fork both very difficult and very
problematic.
You can probably take the Windows route and fake it with ithreads,
but I don't know that anyone's done this yet.
