Try EUNICE from the Wollongong Group or VCL and PC/EDT from Boston
Business Computing (617)683-7920. We've got VCL on our Sun's for the
VMS types--eventually talked them out of using it without all that much
teeth-pulling. VCL is the perfect example of a transition shell, i.e. -
it's got just enough inconsistencies with DEC/VMS to annoy the VMSer's
into switching to UNIX, but not enough that they can say "I can't use
this machine".
