FreeVMS (VMS stands for "virtual memory system") is not another Unix, is a real-time operative system with tight integration with the base system, DCL (DIGITAL Command Language), and also perfect for routers.

Developers are welcome!

Is more related to DOS. The shell VMS uses, DCL, inspired DOS.

Quite a fascinating language the DCL, concise and readable

if only this actually had a chance in hell while OpenVMS is still alive and free for hobbyists, maybe I'd finally have more options than Windows and Gentoo for my IBM Itanic

>and also perfect for routers

hell no, DOS is a kludgy hello world compared to VMS, however much influence it may take from it on the shell
