Lockheed has an opening for engineers with VAX experience for the F22
I had a job maintaining fortran code on an openVMS OS running on itanium hardware.<p>Itanium was intel&#x27;s failed attempt at a 64bit architecture and that&#x27;s the platform VMS decided to port to. That made hardware expensive and as of recently obsolete (i think hp discontinued that integrity line of servers)<p>VMS doesn&#x27;t natively support TCP&#x2F;IP, because it predates it. The VMS communication protocol was called decnet. So you can imagine that porting vms-specific fortran code to work on a modern network stack was non trivial.<p>Also, everyone with VMS knowledge was a hacker. No real design or plan, just go in an change a thing here and a thing there and get it working.<p>All that being said, it was interesting to work on an OS that is so different from linux, specifically the file system had versioning.
