Interesting observation. I wonder why ? C# would be more useful than (say)

.NET for VMS would give:

Yes it is, but it would have helped solve some of the problems VSI has,
especially with Synergex, (unless Synergex have now decided to do
a native x86-64 VMS port).

I would suspect that DBL users still make up a significant portion of
the VMS userbase (unless they have _finally_ been forced to move off
VMS because of an uncertain DBL on x86-64 VMS future).
