That's just yucky. :-)

However, that's also not something which is known by a different name
on (say) Linux.

VMS isn't the centre of the world anymore Jan-Erik.

Quite a lot of what VMS is running these days was written on another
operating system and to avoid confusion on VMS, the VMS name should
be as close to the real name as possible.

If VSI make some VMS-specific changes _then_ they can call it an ECO
or create a VMS format -release. Until then it should be the real
version of the project that is used.

In addition to version number confusion, open source projects in
the past have been renamed for no good reason on VMS (Apache becoming
CSWS would be one good example). I hope VSI _never_ start doing that.

Simon.
