I am not going to argue VMS vs. U*ix because I do not use VMS.  But my
question is: given all the discussions in the press and on the net re:
U*ix standards, holy and unholy alliances, etc., what gives you the
impression you make in the above about dedication for providing an
OPEN ARCHITECTURE?  (Just curious what you have been reading that I
haven't.  My intention is not to start a vendor war.  There are many
vendors with good solutions...)
