Awivax.114 net.unix-wizards utcsrgv!utzoo!decvax!wivax!ss Sun Mar 28 12:26:23 1982 unix/VMS FTP We at the Wang Institute find ourselves in the situation where we must run Berkeley unix some of the time and VMS some of the time. Although it is clearly a pain to do this, we must. (There are packages which we need which run under one but not the other and we cannont port for various reasons.) In trying to make this situation is painless as possible we are going to attempt to have the unix file system on one set of disks, and the VMS file system on another set of disks. Both sets will be powered up at all times. The ideas is to have utilities under each system that will have the ability to read, but not write, the other system's file system. Does anyone know if this kind of thing has ever been done before? Any help or guidence will be much appreciated.
