Hello,

I'm just a new user. For me simh is the better way to give to VMS 
customers the opportunity of going on with VMS.

I explain : commercial emulators all use Windows, so customers who have 
a lot of software on alpha/ia64 OpenVMS, and some on VAX/VMS buy these 
WIndows emulators, buy Intel hardware, and think about migrating all to 
Windows. Windows as a convergence platform. Not so good.
With simh (vax) on OpenVMS / ia64 there is only one platform, and only 
one OS. OpenVMS as a convergence platform. Better.

It would be interesting to have improvements on specific implementations 
on OpenVMS : better use oh io system, better network integration...

Are there someone who already thought about it ?
