Hello, The port of root to VMS was "given up" 2-3 years ago. We ran into problems reconcilling the way root loads shared libraries to the way VMS does in default form. In addition, during the course of the time we were working on the port, it slowly became clear to us that VMS had no real future in nuclear physics. The final nail in the coffin was a disk crash that caused us to lose the last of our modifications and efforts on the shared library front As far as I can tell, the modifications we made to port root to VMS have been carried along and are in the vms directory in the root cvs directory. If someone wants to continue the project, all that we did, for whatever it is worth, is still there (minus what we lost in our disk crash) I would welcome that, but unfortunately would problably not even use it because we have migrated so far away from VMS and the Itanium VMS due out next year would have to present a very convincing argument for us to return to it.
