That is bacause RSTS ISVs were asking DEC to make VMS look more like RSTS.

One of the DEC people, management I think, asked, "what if we implement DCL on 
RSTS?".  I was there when the question was asked.  Yeah, the opposite of what we 
were asking for, but that's how it happened.

This happened maybe around 1980.  Definitely before 1982.
