The actual idea was to create or assist with the creation of a completely
"free" (GNU?) implementation of VMS that "looks and feels" just like
the
original.
The next step was to port this version of FreeVMS to i386, VAX, and AXP.
I've seen a few projects that have started or have stopped that attempt to
achieve similar goals.

The problem is VMS uses 4 separate CPU modes, besides the Unix kernel
and user modes which makes it difficult if not impossible to get
it right on x86.
