I see that the price is US $90 + shipping - not unreasonable for nearly
800 pages and CD-ROM.

>From traffic on various forums it appears that there are some new

people out there faced with applications on VMS systems and wondering
what to do.

Its been a long time since anything new was written about VMS Software
Development.
I think this book will be useful to the new people that are now
appearing in the VMS world and are being faced with the wonderful VMS
environment and don't know where to start. The publication of the book
also sends a message that VMS Software development is not dead.

>From the contents page this book appears to cover software development

using 'classic' DECset tools not the java/NetBeans etc but it does
appear to mention a newer database (MySQL) as well as RDB. I belive the
author intends to write another book covering java.

Certainly an interesting venture and I hope it sells.
