Cerner has some wonderful VMS people there and I would highly recomend
them is anyone is looking for a job.  Please do remember that they had
VMS for years so would have a number of customers and a number of
projects running VMS.  When the decision was made not to port to
Integrity by the powers that be, I am sure they thought it was for the
best.  But as we all know VMS customers usually prefer to stay on VMS
for which I am very happy about.
