It sounds like the delay of Rdb is pushing some customers

 What is the current release schedule ? Have they been able to say
what the problems with completing the port might be ?

I think the thread "New VSI post on Youtube" from mid August
has all the latest.

Almost all user application code should just "compile, link and run"
when migrating from OpenVMS on Alpha or Integrity to OpenVMS on x86.
However, if you're porting a program that uses privileged code or a
device driver, there is a good chance that you will have to make some
changes to your code. This session will explore what to look out for in
your code, and how to adapt your code to run on x86.

That must be the hard core stuff!

 Not really as it sounds like incremental changes stuff.
 Hard core would be implementing a rmmod that works on VMS. :-)
 (Or implementing support for plug-in filesystems... :-) )

Greedy.
