There are a handful of us who are in both groups pretty
regularly.  Phillip Helbig and Glen Herrmannsfeldt come to
mind.  Steve Lionel was a Digital/VMS employee until Digital
(or was it Compaq?) "sold" the Fortran compiler team to
Compaq, and thence Intel (I'm sure I have that wrong, but
it approximates what happened).  Meaning he has expertise in
both VMS and Fortran.  I'm sure there are a few other lurkers
around.  I read both groups daily, but only post occasionally
these days...
