Remember the below comments are based on a rusty view of
vms v3.x (before command histories)
I have "PC DCL", it's a DOS shell that looks / acts like DCL.
It's fun while it lasts but I miss some things about VMS/DCL
- Authorize
- Privilidges
- the "version number" nnnnnnnn.eee;vvv
- The other things I never learned about as an operator
I think the tack of taking one of the Linux/netbsd... etc
and putting on a DCL shell is not what is wanted.
An X86 machine would never be able to run VMS binaries, but
I don't think *nix is close enough to VMS to perform that
feat.
The rights situation is all different. The filesystem dosn't
have version numbers, and I think most of them keep diferent
dates (not the same dates as VMS).
