Some VMS and DCL history links
Posted by jpluimers on 2021/05/25
Last week, I wrote about a bit of my command-line and scripting history at I wanted to know the loaded DLLs in a process like Process Explorer shows, but from the console: Sysinternals ListDLLs to the rescue.
Since information about VMS and DCL is harder to find nowadays, I saved some information in the wayback machine:
- [WayBack] VMS -> UNIX Commands
- [WayBack] SjaakLaan.nl – IT Infrastructure Architecture Blog
- [WayBack] Ghost in the DCL shell: OpenVMS, touted as ultra reliable, had a local root hole for 30 years • The Register
- [Archive.is] What was it like to use VAX/VMS? – Quora
- [WayBack] VMS WebRing
- [WayBack] Vaxination Informatique
- [WayBack] OpenVMS command examples
- VAXELN – Wikipedia (written in Pascal!)
- DIGITAL Command Language – Wikipedia
- OpenVMS – Wikipedia
By now, there should be a good x86_64 version of OpenVMS, so this is also a reminder to self to see if that can run as a VM and is affordable enough to do some experimentation with.
