No problem. What VMS topic should we talk about ?
 
1) The new TECO version for x86-64 VMS ?
 
2) The new Ada compiler for x86-64 VMS ?
 
3) The new syntax colour coding that Rob has added to EDT ?
 
4) The new AI module for DCL (because let's face it, everything needs an
AI module built into it these days, or so marketing would tell you... :-) )
 
Discussion on any of these topics (or more serious ones :-) ) are welcome.

The point I am making is that VMS functionality is mostly stagnant.

It's mostly tweaks and new versions of existing packages. There isn't
the kind of development that goes on in (for example) the Linux world.

The remaining VMS community clearly prefers this unchanging situation,
and for valid reasons (from their point of view), but it also means there
are few new exciting topics to talk about. :-)
