I can repeat to make sure.
The 0.3 and its kernel is to be considered a VMS-ish, featuring:

        Control mechanisms: Software interrupts, ASTs
        Synchronization: Event flags, locks, spinlocks, mutexes
        Scheduling, time support, process control and communication
        Memory management: Working set list, swapper, pools
        Input/output: QIO, mailboxes, terminal driver
        Image support: VMS Images and ELF
        Miscellaneous: Logical names SMP

	RMS and ODS-2.
	CMUIP.
	DCL and utilities (subset).
	Utilities CDU, MSG, Authorize, Install, Analyze/system (subset).

So if this was not closing in to be a VMS, then please tell me what is.
