(I'm already outside ;-) )<br><br>I have also been desperately looking for a CDE clone<br>(Common Desktop Evironment also known as DECW or HP-Desktop)<br>so I can get the OpenVMS look and feel on any system.<br><br>Some time ago I started to code on a CDE clone, for now the file<br>manager (dtfile) is somewhat functional. (But not near complete).<br>It's based on OpenMotif, so when X11/DECW and Xt is working<br>on FreeVMS, at least teoretically OpenMotif can be compiled.<br><br>Anyway I'm partially experienced with VMS, I programmed a moth or<br>so with it on my mothers work in the 90:s (OpenVMS running Oracle).<br>Since then I have been using Unixes and Linux, but recently I got an<br>Alpha PWS and installed OpenVMS with hobbyist licenses.<br><br>== NOTE ==<br>I'm very interested in becomeing a developer for FreeVMS.<br>Are there any specific tasks that you need help with right now?<br>==<br><br>/Alex<br><br><br>> Date: Thu, 9 Apr 2009 11:02:45 +0200<br>> From: joel.bertrand@systella.fr<br>> To: freevms@rayleigh.systella.fr<br>> Subject: Re: [FreeVMS] Status update<br>> <br>> Alexander von Knorring wrote:<br>> > Hello!<br>> <br>> Hello,<br>> <br>> > I have also been interested in the FreeVMS project for a while.<br>> > Also thought it would need a custom kernel, for example OpenVMS<br>> > can run processes in both user and real-time mode.<br>> <br>> Right.<br>> <br>> > I have been working on clone of the real-time kernel VxWorks.<br>> > Perhaps there are some parts in that project that can be of use<br>> > for the kernel you are suggesting?<br>> <br>> Maybe, but I'm not sure. I think we have a lot of work to define a <br>> _good_ implementation.
