[VMS] is an OperatingSystem written by [DEC] for their [VAX] line of minicomputers. In 1990, around version 5.5, [DEC] renamed it to [OpenVMS], after [VMS] was certified as having high support for [POSIX] standards. Shortly thereafter, [OpenVMS] was ported to the [Alpha] architecture, released as <i>OpenVMS for AXP 1.0</i> in 1992. Following the history of [DEC], [OpenVMS] is now owned by [HP]. |
