Once upon a time this package became the best in the market because it was available _every_freakin_where_. I admin-ed it on DG/UX (and that was snarking easy... ) and know that there are tapes out there for VMS. I'd do more than I care to think about for a current version under Solaris 9/Ultrasparc...
Yo, this is microsoft. It's not like we are talking about a company that gives a rat's ass about anyone or anything other than it's quarterly profit margin.

Uhm, excuse me. There are no implications for Alpha. The Alpha is already (for all practical purposes) dead. Compaq sold the IP to Intel back in late June and are/were porting VMS to IA64. Intel's already dancing on the grave of two of the four real threats to it's aquisition of a "natural monopoly..."
1) PA-RISC - subverted.
2) ALPHA - bought and killed.
3) UltraSparc - Sun keeps plugging thank Ghu.
4) Power/PPC - Motorola has almost given up, but IBM's still plugging away at it. Then, they're the only one's with the money to maybe outlive Wintel.
Why does amy one give a damn? They died _years_ ago - why should any of this matter? Best thing that can be done is to take every one of them, yanke their heads back, and slash that knife across that baren bit of fleash. Kill the rest...
