$   OpenVMS Operating System Support?   The Question is:    0 What operating systems are supported by OpenVMS?  The Answer is :   G   OpenVMS is an operating system, and it runs on various VAX, Alpha and D   Itanium platforms, as well as on hardware emulations.  The OpenVMS?   operating system is packaged for each of these three hardware F   architectures, and known respectively as OpenVMS VAX, OpenVMS Alpha,   and OpenVMS I64.   I   Various hardware emulators have been implemented upon OpenVMS, allowing G   other operating systems to bootstrap within the emulated environment. I   Limitations here generally involve those of the operating system within B   the emulated environment and of the emulated environment itself.   G   Various hardware emulators have been implemented on various operating F   systems and hardware platforms, allowing OpenVMS to bootstrap withinF   the emulated environment.  OpenVMS (of the appropriate architecture)I   will operate on various of the available emulators, assuming sufficient H   correctness of the particular hardware emulation that OpenVMS would be   running upon.    I   For an introduction to OpenVMS and to the hardware platforms as well as K   to some of the available documentation and historical information, please J   see the OpenVMS Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document.  For pointersB   to some of the available hardware emulators, please see the FAQ.   J   VAX, Alpha and Itanium systems are available from various used-equipmentG   vendors, and HP offers new and potentially also refurbished Alpha and F   Itanium (HP Integrity) systems.  Licenses for OpenVMS are available.F   (The OpenVMS Wizard will assume appropriate licenses for OpenVMS and$   for any hardware emulator in use.)   /  Answer written or last revised on  5-APR-2004  
