The DEC | HP VAX | AXP VMS Hobbyist Program, continues, but in
renegade, outlaw, form.

The extinction of the VMS ecology be damned. 

All the resources for the preservation of VMS mindshare and the
continuation of VMS on DEC hardware, both OEM and virtual can be
gleaned from the following link:

(The PasteBin website benchmarks "safe to visit")

Per standard, established, protocols:

1. For those that understand and appreciate what the VLF (the VMS
Liberation Front) do, and why they do it - there is no need to pass
commentary in the proceedings and transactions of the comp.os.college

2. For those that either do not understand XOR do not appreciate what
the VLF do, and why they do it - similarly, there is no need to pass
commentary in the proceedings and transactions of the comp.os.college,
on such matters - rather that they direct their critical faculties at
giving robust feedback to VSI to ensure, why they still draw breath,
that VMS will be a viable and thriving operating system ecology for
seven generations to come, and beyond.

Semper VAX - Semper AXP - Semper VMS - Semper DEC.

Thank you for your attention.

Yours sincerely,

VLF: The VMS Liberation Front
In VMS We Trust.

PS: A shout out and salute to Gérard Calliet and the team at the
VMSgenerations Working Group - the VLF greatly admire their above
ground work, from afar - industry association, institutional response,
aggregate activism, in the relation to VSI is the way to go -
individual petitioning will not cut it.
