I have heard rumors that VMS 5.0 is so
dramatically different from VMS 4.X that
DEC has set a group of people to help prepare
3rd party software houses.  

If this is true I would like to talk to these
folks.  Can anyone turn me on to the correct
people?

NOTE: yeah apollo isn't generally in the DEC software
business but my project is.  My project is called
ACCESS which is a communications package that runs on
the VAX (VMS) and on our wonderful family of truely
top-notch workstations (I can turn you on to a salesperson
if you are interested. [p.s. I'm not joking, they are
the b*lls]). 

ACCESS allows our workstations to ***TRANSPARENTLY***
access a VMS file system.  Thus workstation users can
use the VAX as a file server.
