Maybe they changed their minds on that, though.
- mikewarot 6y agoI find it amazingly frustrating that an OS with no real commercial value, but immense historical value, is locked up, and subject to the whim of whoever bought it last. We might never see the source code for VAX/VMS, which makes me sad.
- rutthenut 6y agoIf you can find the source for early Windows NT, I bet a lot of that is similar. Albeit with a vastly deficient file system, permissions, command line, help system and so on ;)
