It would be nice to see what assistance the FreeVMS group may be able to
offer. It appears that they are attempting to make an operating system
compatible with VMS based on the Linux kernel.

From what I have observed, a few of them seem to have extensive
experience with VMS and may be able to offer at least some baseline
knowledge as to how VMS accomplishes this.

My curiosity lies with the ability to run FreeVMS on VAX....

(Why not? It's just a hobby....)
