    I think you mixed up my reply with another
    thread about VAX and maybe "VAXen".

    Is there already a VAX in the Raspberry form factor?

    I and my classmate did write a simple line editor
    using Pascal in a VAX environemnt (VAX/VMS?).
    My copy of its source codes were lost.

    I knew another classmate doing a final-year
    project using VAX as well, about converting
    a distribution graph back to a spreadsheet.

    Have you implemented your own spreadsheet? Perhaps with Turbo
    Vision? Sestoft wrote a nice book about the subject called
    /Spreadsheet Implementation Technology/, and uses C# for his
    example code.

    I also took out some newsgroups I don't read from the cross posting
    and added comp.os.msdos.programmer because I believe they'll want to
    implement their own Lotus 1-2-3 replacement anyway.

    I don't need to use spreadsheets nor matrixes
    at all. So, no.


    BTW, I have never ever seen a demo of that
    classmate's VAX project. Puzzling now that
    I thought about it. :)
