  OpenVMS on Windows NT? 
 The Question is:
 
Can I run VMS within NT,
Exactly I need to run a VMS emulator within
NT to use VAX COBOL &amp; RMS Files &amp; DCL
 
 
 The Answer is:
 
  The Wizard hesitates to even consider running OpenVMS or an "OpenVMS
  emulator" under Windows NT -- reasonable emulation coverage of either
  platform on the other would be an extremely large project, and is not
  available anywhere to the knowledge of the Wizard.  Full emulation of
  either platform is highly unlikely.  Partial emulation of certain parts
  of OpenVMS may be available on Windows NT from a third-party -- parts
  of Windows NT are certainly available (via Wind/U) on OpenVMS.
 
  PCI and EISA-based Alpha systems typically support both OpenVMS and
  Windows NT operating systems.  The Wizard would strongly recommend
  licensing and loading both, and rebooting the appropriate operating
  system as required -- you will be able to operate your applications
  on the appropriate platform.
 
  The OpenVMS Wizard is not in a position to recommend products for
  Windows NT.  There are third-party packages that allow access to a DCL
  environment on Windows NT.  There are also ODBC packages available that
  allow Windows NT applications to access OpenVMS RMS files remotely.
  A development environment for use in creating OpenVMS applications on
  Windows NT systems is also (recently) available.
