For a long time, I have been a lover of UNIX.  However, my
organization is about to have a whole bunch of DEC hardware and
software laid on it, and as one of the software packages will be
All-In-One, I'm going to be stuck with VMS.

I don't mind it so much, I see it as a chance to learn, but...

I need to grab a broad overview of the low end of the VAX line and
software available for it, and quickly, so I know more of what
I'm talking about with these DEC guys.  I'm also going to need a
guide to VMS for UNIX lovers, if any such exists.

What traps should I look out for?  What should I avoid, what
should I ask for?  

Any help folks here can offer, I'd appreciate greatly.

Thanks.
