There is a TeX for VMS called DECUS TeX (vs0058). The last version I know of is
spring '91. It is becoming a bit old these days. You may want to get hold of a
more modern Unix version and port it to VMS (using the Unix change files and C
makes it easy). I mention this because our TeX has run out of space when trying
to use NFSS (the new font selection scheme), dc fonts and multiple hyphenation
patterns. So I'm looking high and low for a cheap Unix/MSDOS/VMS compatible
TeX distribution (As long as I can read the files I can get this working under
VMS). If DECUS is about to release a new version of DECUS TeX I would very much
like to know.

Greetings,
