Tell me how writing WEENDOZE affects VMS in any way?  It has zero to do 
with VMS.  I could be a Mac type, or a BSD type, and still write it 
WEENDOZE.

Actually, I use WEENDOZE.  I got used to 2000 and XP.  Don't like 7, and 
absolutely refuse to use 10.  But, the old versions lack, and it's now a 
problem for me, and will be more of a problem as time goes on.

My terminal emulator will not work on WEENDOZE 7.  I'll get around to 
purchasing a new version some day.  Vendor has upgraded to work on later 
WEENDOZE, but nothing else.  Thanks Microsoft.  Steve must like their 
non-upward compatibility.  Other side of that coin ....
