Sweet.

It did. It was MicroVMS 4.x, but VMS 5.x for the MicroVAX. MicroVMS wasn't
as big so it could fit on an RD51 (originally). I don't think you can stick
VMS 5.x on anything smaller than an RD53, *maybe* an RD-32 (ST-251-1 _at_ 42Mb).

I was working for a guy in 1988 that sold a box of WordPerfect for VMS to one
of our customers that with all the seat licenses, etc., was $500,000 retail.
Major score for a tiny company. I think we got 15% of the take.
