[HECnet] HPE OpenVMS Hobbyist license program is closing

[Supratim Sanyal]

Andy Hoffman's 4.7 distribution is very nice. I was also pointed to 
CMUTEK TCPIP for it on ALDUR:: and the result is a perfectly usable VMS 
system with DECnet and TCPIP. The only thing I will miss is the PIPE 
command in DCL. And I will have to write some sort of a web-server for 
it which would be fun.
