[Info-vax] Some questions on software for VMS 7.3 VAX

[abrsvc]

Most of the VAX clients I deal with still (there are a few), remain there due mostly to hardware constraints.  There are many sites that have custom hardware connected to the VAX that has no direct replacement on either Alpha or IA64.  Since the code (and machine) continue to work without failures, it continues.  While I am concerned that hardware of this age is likely to fail at any time, these clients continue to depend on it.  

In these cases, "new" stuff really has no value...
