[Info-vax] MQ (again) and Alpha to Integrity Migration Job opening.

[Hollywood]

We use MQSeries on pretty much every platform it is available on, so losing it for OpenVMS is a real drag, we would need some way of interfacing back into MQSeries, we are sending and receiving millions of transactions a day via MQ.

As you can probably tell, we are not early adopters :-)  Also I believe there is a gap between Alpha OpenVMS support EOL 2016 and the VSI port to X86 in 2017 ?
