  OpenVMS port to Intel Itanium? 
 The Question is:
 
Well, I just saw the Compaq Death of Alpha news item today, but there's nothing
 on the OpenVMS website about it. So, it looks like there are two
possible alternatives:
 
A) You're going to do an Itanium port.
 
B) The deck is tilting, the boats are in the water, and the band is warming up.
 
Which one is it?
 
 
 The Answer is :
 
  The planned Alpha EV7 and EV79 systems will be produced, and will
  be supported by OpenVMS Alpha.
 
  OpenVMS is being ported to the Intel Itanium Processor Family.
 
  More formal announcement messages covering these plans are available
  at prominent locations around the Compaq and Compaq OpenVMS websites,
  including via the Itanium Processor Family icon at the OpenVMS website.
