DCL VX/DCL is an implementation of DEC's VMS Digital Command Language for Linux/UNIX. VX/DCL allows you to use the VMS commands that you are familiar with on Linux/UNIX systems. Your command scripts (. COM files) will run on the new platform.
Print and Batch Spooler VX/JSP is an implementation of the VMS BATCH & PRINT spooler, API and command line interface for Linux/UNIX. It is an add-on module for VX/DCL that provides VMS DCL functionality for Linux/UNIX.
EDT+ EDT+ is the most complete OpenVMS editor for Linux/UNIX.
VMS BACKUP Vbackup is an OpenVMS-Style Backup for Linux/UNIX.
VMS MAIL Vmail is an OpenVMS-Style Mail Interface for Linux/UNIX.
TPU nu/TPU is a fully programmable text editor modeled after Digital's TPU (Text Processing Utility). It includes the EVE, EDT and WPS interfaces for easy and familiar text editing across all your platforms, including all major Linux/UNIX vendors.
Active Batch ActiveBatch™ V3 , the Enterprise Cross Platform Job Management and Scheduling system from Advanced Systems Concepts, Inc., is the one-stop solution to managing unattended job execution, across a variety of software platforms.
Application Migration Tools

DEC BASIC VX/BASIC is a full-featured VMS/BASIC to ANSI C Compiler/Transpiler®. VX/BASIC allows VMS/BASIC source code to be compiled on multiple host machines. The application can be maintained in the original BASIC language or converted into C code.
DEC FORTRAN VX/FPT (FORTRAN Partner™) is a powerful suite of tools for writing, maintaining and migrating FORTRAN programs. Many of the world's leading aerospace and high technology companies use it.
MACRO-32 MACRO to C Translator XTRAN is a proprietary system; developed and owned by Pennington Systems Incorporated, for converting either VAX or PDP-11 assembly code to C. It is licensed from Pennington by Sector7.
System and Runtime Libraries VX/RT is a collection of libraries written by Sector7 that provides the equivalent VMS API functionality on UNIX. In order for VX/RT to function, the following toolkits must also be installed: VX/DCL, VX/RMS.
File Systems

RMS File System VX/RMS is an implementation of Digital's VMS/RMS system for UNIX. VX/RMS allows VMS programs, which access RMS directly, to function without change. All VMS file types and access modes are supported. Support for relative, sequential and block mode files is supplied by direct access to the UNIX file system.
RMS Data File Migration VX/DataX allows users to transport data files from the VMS operating system to UNIX. VX/DataX also allows users to specify a programmable schema to convert the data to the appropriate format (DEC to IEEE, Little Endian to Big Endian, Quadword Data/Time to UNIX Date Time) for the target platform.
