It may have been the other way around. There were a number of DECnet applications that started on VMS; Notes is one such. I don't remember Phone anywhere other than VMS -- so I can't be sure about the time line for that one. paul On Mar 12, 2011, at 2:15 AM, <hvlems at zonnet.nl> wrote: Phone is available on RSX-11. So it is safe to assume that the VMS version got ported from RSX-11. Which dates Phone somewhere in the mid 70's, right?

No, I actually prefer email. I'm not really into the this whole chat/texting/instant messaging/tweeting thing. Guess I'm just old fashioned. But then I wouldn't be here on this list if I wasn't :-) Bob Verzonden vanaf mijn draadloze BlackBerry -toestel
