I don't know what has been tested in 1992. Today, it is impossible for VMS
to get UNIX branding as long as system() does not call a POSIX shell but
the VMS command line interpreter. open(2) may be another problem.


For the rest, I am impressed how close OpenVMS is to current standards.

The autoconf tests I did run yesterday told me that shmget() does not work.
