How many words are there in the DCL reference?
I suppose the reference is the “DCL Dictionary”. And that is a lot longer.
But then, it includes docs for a lot of commands that are not built into
DCL itself. You’d have to take those out for a fair comparison.
VMS 9.2-3
VERB dump
take everything with CLIROUTINE
add :=, =, @ and lexical
foreach
HELP/OUT=Z.Z whatever...
APPEND Z.Z HELP.HLP
64431 words
Not sure that really means anything.
