Not for OpenVMS/VAX, that stopped more than a year ago. IIRC you _can_
get something like[1] it for OpenVMS/amd64 from VMS Software.
The only legal[0] workaround for VMS on VAX is to go back all the way
before LMF was introduced which IIRC means running VMS 4.4 and nothing
newer.
Sad and mildly irritating, but nothing we can do about it.
Kind regards,
Alex.
[0] Personal opinion. Worth every cent you paid for it. I'm not a lawyer
and I never played one on TV. Void were prohibited. Caveat emptor.
[1] Last time I checked, there was a time limited "educational purposes"
virtual machine image one could download and run with the appropriate
hypervisor software.
