Is the current Mimer DB derived from the on that ran on PDP-11'sBelieve so.
and the VAX back in the mid 80's?

And here's a more obscure one. Anybody here familiar with>
EUNICE? I only got to access it as a user in my very first
days of VAX/VMS exposure. According to the write-up in the
VAX Software Sourcebook it was capable of everything found
in BSD 4.1 BSD. It ran on top of VMS. VMS can not do fork().
How did EUNICE do fork()?

I remember having heard about it before.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eunice_(software) says:
<quote>
Eunice was criticized for its performance problems and not quite complete Unix compatibility. Eunice's reputation for poor compatibility inspired the "Congratulations. You aren't running Eunice." message included in the Perl configure script.

Why would you want to run Eunice??
1990's VMS 6.x Posix is newer and likely more compatible as it had
to pass Posix certification.
GNV is almost modern.
