I don't know where modern iterations of VMS were developed. Considering what HP did with their calculator division, I was suspicious they'd "partnered" or "right sized" development to   bombay.

Anyone benchmarked versions of VMS? I thought that pre-64 bit might run better on an old VAX.

At one ZKO meeting, he and another fellow (I know his name but will elide 
it from discussion here) had a battle of wits and I left, the room, as I 
remember, in tears from laughter.

FWIW, the SECURITY_SERVER in VMS is mostly Larry's handiwork.

Back to the theme of this thread:   Don't confuse the volume of source with 
the efficiency of the code.
