The last job I had, at a Sililcon Valley Company, before I returned
to school we used only VAX and VMS and I found that the VMS
documentation was very inadequate for the needs of even a substandard
programmer. There was no documentation on any higher system functions
or programming. I prefer a UNIX enviorment and will, hopefully, not
use VMS ever again. I'd rather use Ultrix.
