Could I get these more cheaply online somewhere. I am currently
uneremployed
and can't make ends meet as it is. I doubt if my wife will spring for
the
$30 VMS takes. If I remember the vax 11/780 I used to op had only about
a
400mb hard drive. How much do I need for a vms system?

Hmm Layered products, C compiler? Pascal Compiler? what was most
software
for the VAX written in? What other stuff makes for a usefull system?
