ObVMSMemories:
My only experience with VMS was taking my assembler course in university
in 1994 or 95, not long before the got rid of it totally (which is sad,
as it taught me more about how computers and programming work than any
classes since).  I don't remember much about the OS itself other than to
change directories you type "set [something something]" and there were a
lot of $'s involved.  Oh, and life was much easier after you wrote
aliases to convert 'cd foo' into the array of "set"s and "$"s required
to change a directory (such as I understand it at the time).
