Hi,
This is my first venture (or an attempt to venture) into the world of VMS.
I have a couple of questions:
1) Is there an emulator, etc to run OpenVMS on and where can I get it as
well as OpenVMS?
SIMH (Emulator): http://simh.trailing-edge.com/
VMS: http://www.openvmshobbyist.com/
You need to be an Encompass member to get VMS licenses.
2) Does OpenVMS support the notion of shared libraries
(DLL to you windoze
users)...
Yes.
I want to re-port an old application, but want to use
OpenVMS instead. I
don't have a machine that is capable of running VMS (nor do I have the space
for one), so an emulator will suffice....
Why don't you get a VAXstation 4000/vlc? It's one of the tiniest
pizza-box cases I've ever seen. Significantly smaller than something
like a Sun 3/60.
Peace... Sridhar
