The last time I did any programming on a VMS system was ... about 5 1/2 hours ago. Our shop runs OpenVMS now, programs mostly in C and BASIC. I've quietly insinuated Python into the mix over the last few months, and that has helped my sanity considerably. I did use the curses library with Vax C years ago, though online data entry programs used the SMG library. -- rzed -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
