Thanks, Keith. And thanks for paring that down to sites offering
actual products. The several I'd looked at seemed like more talk
than action, i.e., like your xDelta. But
http://www.sector7.com/products_and_services/openvms/vx_tools/vxrt_services.html
seems for real (though I've got to wonder if their sys$qio can really
transparently provide all native vms sys$qio functionality).
I couldn't find a similar transoft.com page describing
a concrete product.
