Recently, there has been some discussion on the net of VAXes
running both UN*X and VMS.  Naturally, we didn't pay attention.
Now we are considering such schemes. We have 2 780's and 1
750, all running VMS and mostly dedicated to Fortran number
crunching. Now we are considering putting some word-processing
and data-base up on one under UN*X.  Thus, we are interested
in:
	1. Systems that run UN*X some of the time and VMS
	   some of the time. What is your experience with
	   such operations? How do you do file access?
	   What is VMS used for? What is UN*X used for?
	2. Systems with VMS on one VAX and UN*X on another.
	   What sort of communications are possible between
	   the VAXes? 
As they say, thanks in advance and given sufficient interest
we will post a summary to the net.
