OpenVMS is nothing more than mainframe (old Digital) VAX, aka COBOL and JCL for those that know or heard it before. It's mainly for crunching batch jobs. If you don't know what VAX is, don't even waste your time.

<< OpenVMS, originally called VMS (Virtual Memory System), was first conceived in 1976 as a new operating system for Digital's new, 32-bit, virtual memory line of computers, eventually named VAX (Virtual Address eXtension). The first VAX model, the 11/780, was code-named &quot;Star&quot;, hence the code name for the VMS operating system, &quot;Starlet&quot;, a name that remains to this day the name for the system library files (STARLET.OLB, etc.). VMS version X0.5 was the first released to customers, in support of the hardware beta test of the VAX-11/780, in 1977. VAX/VMS Version V1.0 shipped in 1978, along with the first revenue-ship 11/780s.

OpenVMS was designed entirely within Digital Equipment Corporation. The principal designers were Dave Cutler and Dick Hustvedt. OpenVMS was conceived as a 32-bit, virtual memory successor to Digital's RSX-11M operating system for the PDP-11. Many of the original designers and programmers of OpenVMS had worked previously on RSX-11M, and many concepts from RSX-11M were carried over to OpenVMS.

OpenVMS is a 32-bit, multitasking, multiprocessing virtual memory operating system. Current implementations run on Digital's VAX and Alpha AXP computer systems.

OpenVMS isn't as ancient as you would think. The company that I worked for over the summer got a new Digital server, with OpenVMS as its OS. It's alive and kicking.

Edit: Just signed up for the book. I get a VB Script Runtime error when I click the submit button. I choose not to debug it. Did the order go thru ok?
