I don't know whether OSF1/DigitalUnix/Tru64 has been EOL'ed in favor of HP-SUX, but OpenVMS is still under active development. OpenVMS 8.2 is on 3 platforms: - VAX, which hasn't been made since ~1999 - Alpha, which will be EOL in a couple of years :( - ia64. Aaaggghhh!!!!! By the time that Alpha is EOL'ed, we'll be in the middle of a migration from Alpha/VMS to HP-SUX. <Sigh> I really like OVMS. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Ron Johnson, Jr. Jefferson, LA USA PGP Key ID 8834C06B "I'm not a vegetarian because I love animals, I'm a vegetarian because I hate vegetables!" unknown
