MicroVMS/WS V3.0 ?!?!?!

8 Jul 2001

...
     I just got
*large* pile of TK50 tapes from my neighbor, most of which
 aren't that interesting.  However, one is labled as follows:

 AQ-FT37C-BN	056222
 MICROVMS/WS V3.0 BIN TK50
 COPYRIGHT 1986
 DIGITAL EQUIPMENT CORPORATION

 What is it? 
 My guess would be the VMS Windowing System for MicroVMS. 
Shucks!  I was hoping for a port of Wordstar v3.0 to VMS :)  
 Hadn't really considered either of those, I was hopeing for something more
 like MicroVMS/WorkStation, but that didn't really make sense (as far as I
 know MicroVMS started with V4.x).  Somehow I suspect VMS Windowing System
 is it.

 As for the WordStar, I don't think that ever made it to VMS, though
 WordPerfect did.  The closest the pile of tapes came was DECwrite, and VAX
 Document.  Somehow I've found TeX to be the best solution on VMS, it's nice
 and portable, and you can work on it from a VT100 if you want. 
I've got WordPerfect for VMS somewhere, along with AutoCAD.
