Rudedog, Fewer and fewer applications are getting ported to VMS every day and it is very hard to continue development in that otherwise powerful platform. Would it be correct to assume that the main thrust behind such development tools is to provide a smooth migration path? I can see MSFT to be please with such a strategy as they probably expect the transition to not stop at UNIX but continue over to NT (should be easier given that VMS and NT share the same architect). It seems though that those components will be pretty low level (and I am sure CPQ is more than capable in that arena), if I am reading you correctly and that a development toolkit layer still needs to be built. Pardon my skepticism, but I haven't seen any hardware vendor (except perhaps IBM) providing such toolkits which are in widespread use. So who is going to build that, given that that needs to be ported to VMS as well as OSF1? Too much to chew for any third party. -Apratim.
