I learned to code, by being exposed to a lot of VAXen: 11/730s, 11/750s, 11/780s, microVAXen and some VAXStations...had access to pretty much all compilers and was able to learn Fortran, Cobol (argh!), VaxC, Macro32 and was beginning to learn BLISS when the job was nomore...then, I switched to WinNT and never had direct access to VMS anymore.
Still have 'fond' memories of WATCH.EXE, from a DECUS tape; it literally took me out of the 'matrix'.
So long, old pal,
