Does DECUS serve any broader purpose other than doling
out VMS licenses to
hobbyists who want to run old DEC gear?
Roughly put, ENCOMPASS (there is no longer a US DECUS, hasn't been for
several years) is a professional Users Group for people running Windows,
Unix, and OpenVMS on HP Hardware (or the older Compaq or DEC HW).
Unfortunately I think I got the order of "importance" listed correctly
(well the order in their minds).
Ok, so what are the benefits of membership besides being able to "legally"
run VMS?
