It's my assumption that Richard was not talking about Rdb.

VMS is the only user of Rdb.  To stop providing it for VMS means to 
totally abandon the product.  Doesn't seem a wise move for what might be 
a profitable product.  Not claiming Larry is wise, but, he's wise enough 
to own an island in Hawaii.

Regardless, I'll extend my question to Rdb.

Does anyone think that everyone using VMS also uses Rdb?  Although, I 
will stipulate that all Rdb users also use VMS.

Just saying, I think Richard has some tunnel vision.  He uses Oracle, 
therefore everyone must use Oracle.  It just ain't so.
