Did I miss it, or is the kernel missing?
I learned from
http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/dec/vax/vms/training/EY-00014-DP_VMS_Internals…
that they don't have a "kernel",? but an "executive".? From the
Preface
chapter:
"The words "system" or "VMS system" are used to describe the
entire
software package that is a part of a VAX-11 system, including privileged
processes, utilities, and other support software as well as the
executive itself.
The word "executive" refers to those parts of the VMS operating system?
that reside in system virtual address space.
The executive includes the contents of the file SYS.EXE, device drivers,
and other code and data structures
loaded at initialization time, including RMS and the system message file. "
