Remember Bliss being caseless, so it is Close.

I have stated in FEATURES that the telnet client is only 32-bit,
and you seem to be on 64-bit? (Have now added 32-bit to HOWTO)

Did not think that making a 64-bit version of telnet was worthwhile,
it is after only telnet.

But having the telnet client served its purpose.
That means having compiled some native VMS software, to facilitate writing
correct core functionality in the kernel.
