Is there anyone more deserving of the title
"designer of VMS"?
There were a number of people inside Digital who had the designation "VMS
architect" or some such. In the early days I think there were three or
four, one of whom was Dick Hustvedt who I had the pleasure of meeting in
1983 in New Zealand. Later, there were larger numbers of "architects" such
as Keith Walls who was the Backup architect for a while (Keith and I go
back a long way).
You can find out who the real architects/coders for VMS are/were by looking
into the source code (take the scheduler for example, the core of which
hasn't changed since VMS v0.xx...)
