Well my old VAX/VMS friend has finally died. It ran 24/7 for 26 years and was 
only rebooted every 2 or three years(power outage or disk replacement). It's 
either a bad disk drawing too much from the old power supply or the supply 
itself needs to be re-capped. Fires up and boots but shuts off after couple of 
hours. I could keep it going but I've been converting the VAX apps to LC since 
2012. There was only one left and I'm finishing the conversion now. If was not 
for LC's text processing(chunks) I could never have converted them all. The 
last one needs to be done in a week or two, no prob for LC. For me this project 
in any other language would not be possible. There was 12 years of Basic text 
processing apps by a team of 4 programmers to convert. With LC it was all 
converted by me in my spare time. 

LC is my friend!

RIP VAX
