Well - I could not do it in VMS basic because:
1) I am not good enough in VMS Basic
2) VMS Basic does not support multi-threading

So I went for a Basic that does support multi-threading: VB.NET.
Which accidentally solved my skill problem as well as I can write
the code in C# and auto convert to VB.NET (with a little post-conversion
polish).
