Thanks, that's good to know. Hopefully that's a good sign, 
especially as the code mostly existed and the support 
revenue hopefully arrived at VSI without too much Engineering 
effort).

Given the likely number of customers in the OMNI/OSAP market, 
and its general invisibility in comp.os.vms and job adverts 
and and and, maybe it's another illustration of the difference
between "popularity" (e.g. visibility, job adverts, etc) and
"profitability" (meaning customers willing to pay for something).

Industrie 4.0. It's the way of the future. DIGITAL had it when?
