VMS is *NOT* primitive by *ANY* stretch of the imagination! You may not know how to use the advanced features of VMS, but that does not mean they are not there!
UN*X (including Linux!) and WhineBloze are, by comparison, barely a stone's throw from stone-age computing, IMO.
Don't believe me? Try this in UN*X (Linux, *BSD, AIX, etc.) (DOS/Win's mechanisms are similar to VMS and DCL, just greatly more limited): write a short shell script to create 10,000 files or more in any single directory such that the filenames are at least 10 characters long. Then, cd to that directory, enter "echo *" at the shell prompt, and watch the fun!
