Aucbarpa.114 NET.eunice utzoo!duke!mhtsa!eagle!ucbvax!arpavax:mark Wed May 27 18:36:09 1981 adding system calls to vms I just received some mail including the following:

They run VMS, but aren't willing to add the system calls to run Eunice (I didn't know you needed to add system calls), and so can't run vi under VMS. So this guy is charged with duplicating the VMS screen editor under UNIX, since they want a common editor for both systems. Ugh.

What kinds of system calls do you have to add to VMS for Eunice? Is there some incentive from DEC to leave VMS alone?
