David, thanks for your reply. I was more curious if the product was ever ported to the Alpha/Itanium/x86 architectures. I'm returning to VMS so I don't have any existing systems to start with. I suppose I could try to run VAX VMS under SimH. Is there any legitimate way to get a VMS software load for the VAX architecture under the VSI Community License Agreement? From the web site, it seems like they are focused on the newer architectures.

Cheers,

Bruce Carleton
