Well Bill, note that the terminology was "VMS on your desktop", which I
at least inferred as "access to VMS on one's desktop". As for that, I
have access to my VMS systems from my desks and such. Usually a
WEENDOZE system with much of the office automation software along with a
terminal emulator.
I really don't want a VT type of terminal, which is good only for
terminal functionality. The WEENDOZE desktop environment gives me what
is usually expected in a "desktop system", and access to my VMS systems.
