 Well, that begets 2 questions. that's 3 though! :-)
 
 What is stopping the app vendor from supporting their app on VSI VMS 
 V8.4 2L?  would have to ask Intersystems
 
 Will the VSI C compiler not work on your HPE VMS V8.4 system?  no idea, it's a license issue!
 
 Got a spare system you can run the VSI OS on?  I'd be rather surprised 
 if the obj file would not be transferable between systems.
   Nope
