Hadn't really considered either of those, I was hopeing for something more
like MicroVMS/WorkStation, but that didn't really make sense (as far as I
know MicroVMS started with V4.x). Somehow I suspect VMS Windowing System
is it.
As for the WordStar, I don't think that ever made it to VMS, though
WordPerfect did. The closest the pile of tapes came was DECwrite, and VAX
Document. Somehow I've found TeX to be the best solution on VMS, it's nice
and portable, and you can work on it from a VT100 if you want.

Yep, over the years I've gotten some cool stuff from him.
