Hi, I have been working a long time on OpenVMS systems. These systems are very stable and used frequently in process automation. But since Compaq took over Digital equipment I have the feeling that it is not developed actively any longer.
So what do you think about something like CYGWIN for OpenVMS ? OpenVMS has: - X-Windows - at least a subset of posix calls - pthread routines - Socket library, telnet, ftp, rsh, samba ... - A different filesystem ( device:[topdir.subdir]filename.extension;version ) I have ported QT2.2.0 to OpenVMS (this was really straigt forward) The only problem was the different syntax in the filenames. In principle "all" one would need, is a running bash with all the necessary posix calls. In this case even KDE should not be a problem. Is there some interest for a project called CYGVMS ???
