Donald, thanks for the comments on DEC's plans for VMS/OpenVMS.  Another
person pointed out the URL http://www.openvms.digital.com/ as a source of
information about DEC's OpenVMS plans.

None of this really has any bearing on our short term plans for IRAF support
for OpenVMS.  Currently we provide OSF1/IRAF V2.10.4 for the Alpha, and full
support for OpenVMS is planned for IRAF V2.11, when we upgrade all platforms.
In the interim a preliminary port of IRAF to OpenVMS is available from STScI.

Near term IRAF system development emphasizes projects other than platform
support, except for the (UNIX based) PC-IRAF effort which is still in
progress.
