[FreeVMS] Question about FreeVMS qemu image

[Renee]

I am in the process of moving. I am a former VMS developer. I wrote to ask
what languages you are using. If it's C, VMS developers HATED C.
I would like to help/join the effort but I would recommend Bliss.

	Sure. A sleeping project always gives a bad impression. Since HP
announcement, I have received a lot of mails from potential new developers,
but until now, no one has proposed patches.

	Rewrite an operating system is a huge work and I will continue if,
and only if, some developers will be able to accept responsabilities (code,
translation, documentation, web pages...).

	Best regards,
