Well, at one time we were *all* on VMS. (Or, at least
those of us with gray hairs were, Harvey.) But that's
another sad story.

How many OpenVMS new licenses do you suppose were
sold last year? I'm sure it eventually gets to the
point where the numbers don't even begin to justify
the effort. I know nothing about the facts in this
case, but I do know that in the past RSI has always
gone WAY beyond when the numbers made sense before
yanking a version.

Cheers,

David
