Far be it from me to argue with a Digit :-), my 5.5-2 disk boots up as
VAX/VMS and my 6.0 disk boots up as OPENVMS/VAX. The 5.x ConDist
documentation calls it VMS the savesets are VMSxxx and the 6.x ConDist
calls it OpenVMS and the savesets are OVMSxxx. However, I don't really know
when DEC started pushing VMS as 'OpenVMS' in relationship to what release
was shipping.
You forgot 5.6.
When was 5.6 released?
And at the
5.5-2 to 6.0 transition it changed names to "OpenVMS"
Nope sooner, V5 was the official start of the OpenVMS name and
push. There was 4.6 and 4.7. I believe ther were some major
adds at 4.6
like long file names{if it wasnt that it was another big feature}.
Frank confirms the 4.7. I'd like to find a 5.6 set though, I looked through
the SPD on the Compaq site and was trying to figure out what it added
relative to 5.5-2.
