I know. It's just that FTP under VMS sometimes might be a bit trickier
when trying to transfer binary files and get whatever format you might

Just sayin'. :-)
But otherwise all true...
Well, except all VAXen with independent FE didn't use RT11. But you'll
probably hate me for this. :-)
Some used the Professional with P/OS. Some even used a MicroVAX II...
But the VAX-11 machines with a FE had something RT-11 like as the file
system.

Thanks, but VMS has FTP too... And EXCHANGE _is_ FLX - DEC decided to change the name
on VMS for some reason known only to them. All the VAXes with independent front end
processors used RT11 for the FE file system, and so exchanging files with RT11 is fairly
important there.
