I've recently acquired the task of managing a MicroVax running MicroVMS 4.6.
We have a whole bunch of non-DEC terminals that we'd like to use with it.  I'm
new to VMS and learning as I go.  Perhaps some of you VMS gurus can answer a
few of my questions:

Will VMS support non-DEC terminals?  Is there any facility for a terminal
attribute database (like terminfo and termcap under UNIX)?  Can you use full
screen applications (like EDT) on non-DEC terminals?

Any help would be appreciated.  Followups are directed to comp.os.vms.

Thanks,

Tim Ramsey
