[HECnet] PCVMS

[Supratim Sanyal]

In the meanwhile, I managed to get PCVMS to work on a 86BOX VM (which I 
can share).

PCVMS's Username is root, empty password. It is indeed weird, looks like 
a Unix attempt chaged to VMS attempt (passwd file is /etc, for example). 
Some sort a multitasking executive over DOS (quarterdeck/caldera drdos 7 
come to mind). I haven't played with it much yet, maybe its possible to 
submit jobs in the "multiuser environment". A couple of screenshots:
