I'd like to see you go to pretty much any bank or LFO (large financial organisation) and tell them that VMS is defunct
Sure they are planning on migrating away from it, given that the last porting effort was to itanium which may not have a certain future, but they are still running it and probably will do for a long time yet.
Oh and up until very very recently every SMS routed via most Mobile phone networks was routed by VMS, they are mostly trying to migrate to a Linux platform at the moment.
How I'd love a job porting from VMS to Linux! I have oodles of VMS experience, albeit somewhat rusty now. I worked in several European countries as a programmer and then 3rd-line support on VMS for about 14 years. I've got the best part of 10 years on Linux now as well.
Cheers, Laurie.
