Next platform query: Alphaservers under VMS?

From

Hi guys,

Also received a  through the Advocacy website asking if anyone has 
ported PostgreSQL to the AlphaServers under VMS.

Anyone know if we run on VMS?  Last time I touched VMS (about 10 years 
ago) it wasn't all that Unix-like.

:-)

Regards and best wishes,

Justin Clift

I'm pretty sure we don't.  But there are plenty of Linux and *BSD
distros that will run on that hardware.

IIRC, they too have a POSIX layer available.

It used to work under VMS a few years ago, but we no longer have VMS
testers, so I doubt it works anymore.

Yeah, it's called cygwin.  Oh, you probably meant that miserable excuse 
for a posix layer MS included when they shipped it.  :-)
