Right, such as:

I do not think that comparision is fair. MacOS is a client-only OS (right?)
That is, you run your term emulator on/from the same MacOS environment.

VMS is a server-only OS. You do not expect *VMS* to come with a built-in
emulator. And such as the free Putty does support UTF-8, FWIW...

Does anyone expect a "terminal emulator" that actually runs *on* VMS?
