Huh?  If Ultrix 2.x is more like VMS than Ultrix 1.x, it's going to
take DEC 10 years to do the trick.  That's not to say that won't try
to provide some kind of VMS emulation environment, but the biggest
changes in 2.x are to make VAXes and VAX workstations more or less
competitive with the random unix oriented hardware providers.  This
is mostly spelled Sun compatible networking/NFS, workstation support
and X-windows.
