don't think supporting VMS on "commodity PC hardware" is really a
desirable thing, but that's about what's left for anyone to make
who isn't an industry giant like HP or IBM. Or Oracle, I guess,
but obviously, the latter two aren't exactly likely candidates.
Oracle would NOT do ANYTHING good with OpenVMS. They would give the
community the finger, AND THEN kick them repeatedly, and continue kicking
them until they run away screaming.
