Hmm... On OVMS 7.1 I get the standard " %SYSTEM-W-NOMSG, Message number

some version of VMS?

I swear I did not make this up:

MISER$   WRITE SYS$OUTPUT F$MESSAGE (2928)
%SYSTEM-W-FISH, my hovercraft is full of eels
MISER$ show sys /noproc
OpenVMS V8.3   on node MISER   12-FEB-2015 10:19:47.86   Uptime   70 13:37:37

However, on 7.3:

$   WRITE SYS$OUTPUT F$MESSAGE (2928)
%SYSTEM-W-NOMSG, Message number 00000B70
$ show sys/noproc
OpenVMS V7.3   on node FRUGAL   12-FEB-2015 10:20:56.80   Uptime   70 11:00:39

Looks like 8.3 is required! ?

You haven't loaded a different message file? You can do that in VMS, and there is this classic april fools message file that I wouldn't be surprised if it holds that fish message...
