I need to know if Ultrix & VMS can be run interchangeably on the same
microvax.  A faculty member here is considering doing the evaluation of
several types of software, where versions exist that run on 4.2BSD,
and on VMS.  What difficulties are involved in switching between one
operating system and the other?  Do they need to each be put on separate
disks, or can they share the same disk?  Can software written for
a VAX 750 (UNIX or VMS) run just as easily on a microvax II?

Any advice given related to your experience with the above mentioned
items is appreciated.

Thanks,       -- Scott Stone --
