I donβt know who will need this, but I was pleased. As an old VMS user, I couldnβt pass by. The OpenVMS Software company, which bought the rights to OpenVMS and is now continuing to develop this OS for X86, released a set of developer tools for VMS for Linux. It is installed on Linux/X86-64 and Windows/WSL.
VMS/XDE is a set of compilers and libraries that run natively on Linux, it allows you to compile and run files that are binary and software compatible with VMS.
VMS/XDE is not an emulator; syscalls are translated natively to Linux emulators. In this sense, its direct equivalent is Wine with its cross-compiler suite.
The developers do not recommend using the resulting binaries in production, as the runtime environment has a number of limitations. However, modules compiled on Linux run on VMS without recompilation.
The developers intended this to be used by those who wish to develop for VMS in a familiar environment.
Well, yes, it costs money and is licensed.
