Yup. It's... different. We run it on two VAXstation 4000/90's here at
work, mainly for vibration measuring and analysing. I haven't got the
slightest clue how it's working, I'm just staring at one of the two
machines in the computer room every now and then and occasionaly looked
at the OS when another guy was sorting some things out. Looks VMS-ish to
me.
