VMS site scheduled for shutdown !

These VMS oriented and VMS served pages may disappear anytime with their host VMS systems shutting down.

The main page is now at http://www.mpp.mpg.de/~huber/vmsdoc/, but without the (online) HELP pages.

OpenVMS is the operating system originally written for Digital Equipments (DEC) VAX series of MiniComputers.
Today , OpenVMS is owned by HewlettPackard (HP).
OpenVMS runs on Vax,Alpha, and Intel IA64 (Itanium) CPU architectures.

Xkeycaps build for VMS

Rdesktop

I built Rdesktop, the RDP client, V1.3.1 for VMS:
rdesktop/
I am not able to continue work on Rdesktop:
1.3.1 works, but from 1.4 upwards there is a lot more to interface, mainly device support (or removal of it on VMS).
Maybe a more OS-independant java implementation is of interest ?: http://www.elusiva.com/opensource/

Warning for InternetExplorer users: software here is for VMS: files ending in ".COM" are DCL command-files, and the server is sending them with the mime-type text/plain ! MSIE ignores the mime-type, and thinks it is a Windows executable !
