... What do you think?

How do you mean, a 'WYSIWYG' editor for PostScript and/or LaTeX that
produces PDF results on-the-fly?  I have never heard for it, not for
VMS at least.  In fact, I'm not even aware of any actual LaTeX
distribution for VMS, let alone I64 (only old VAX and AXP).

DECdocument is probably what you'd probably want to consider...

There's supposedly a free trial, but whether that's still provided,
but the "Copyright © 1999 [...]" part doesn't give me much hope...)
