I think I read somewhere than the inspiration for the CP/M commands was
RT-11, not TOPS-10. But, anyway, the RT-11 commands _are_ inspired by
TOPS-10, which. by the way, sound a little bit like OS/8... :)
I haven't read the article (yet), however I'm pretty sure I've seen in the past that CP/M was indeed inspired by TOPS-10, and nothing else.
God knows if I can dig up any sources of that, though...

Did anyone see another announcement, separate from the above attached
roadmap from Ric Lewis? In his letter, it states:
"We are committed to providing you updates and support for the V8.4
OpenVMS operating environment through /at least/ December 31, 2020." (my

Surely /The Register/ did not base its article on this alone. Its not
seemingly unlike HP to publish this type of "at least / until" roadmap
for other technologies (e.g. Itanium).
There has been some more meat if you search around. I think some was posted to this list a couple of days ago. Essentially HP have said that the VMS will not be ported to the "new" Poulson chip. Support for anything other than VMS V8.4 will cease within a few years, and 8.4 will be supported until at least 2020. They have published the roadmap, and there is no mention of any new version, and they have said they will not add new hardware. What more do you need? :-)

Johnny,
Can you change

to
47.1001 SIIKA
and add
47.1002 SIIKAX
please
Done. Do have any any specifics for them for me to add? Like CPU, OS and Location? :-)

Perhaps a little off topic for the group in some ways...
Has anyone attended a Connect OpenVMS Webinar? This one is a bit late
(early?!) for those of us in the States... but I'm always games for a
late-night technical conference.
Yes. Basically like a WebEx or GoToMeeting type presentation.
BTW, there are two sessions.
http://connect-community.site-ym.com/events/event_details.asp?id=326729
at 12:00pm-1:00pm India Standard Time (UTC/GMT + 5:30 hours) which trans-
lates to 2:30 AM EDT. I'm, hopefully, asleep at that time. :)
http://connect-community.site-ym.com/events/event_details.asp?id=326728
at 9:00pm - 10:00pm India Standard Time (UTC/GMT + 5:30 hours) which
translates to 11:30 AM EDT. Just in time for lunch.
OpenVMS Application Modernization Series=96III
Software development environments on OpenVMS: Developing software employing
latest technologies, including Open Source
http://connect-community.site-ym.com/events/event_details.asp?id=326729
Brett Cameron, whom I know (he and I tossed back a few beers back in March),
presented the "OpenVMS Application Modernization Series=II" webinars back in
May, so I presume he's continuing this series with this one. I've sent off
an email off to ask for an abstract and other details. If this is Brett as
presenter, most definitely join in. Brett's a great speaker, very knowlege-
able and, hopefully, you'll enjoy his New Zealand accent.
