[Simh] Newbie questions about VMS for VAX

HPE will if you ask, send you a link to 7.3 if you ask. Whilst 7.3 is old its pretty good.
If you ask they will send you Alpha & VAX licences. There are later version of VMS for Alpha.
There are some Alpha emulators about but not as good as the alpha emulators..
