Isn't VMS DCL pretty close to RSX? Never used RSX, but that is what I
was always told.
I don't know how close it is to RSX, but I do know that RSTS (V9 and later) DCL was
explicitly modeled on VMS DCL, including the DCL functions for use in command files. They
aren't identical for various reasons, but close, and similar in capability. Another
VMS-inspired RSTS item (also in V9) is BACKUP, which produces backup sets that VMS can
read, and with limitations due to the file system differences can read at least some VMS
backup sets.
