5.0 out of 5 stars The Bible of VAX/VMS internals, June 13, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: VAX/VMS Internals and Data Structures: Version 5.2 (Paperback)
I believe the previous reviewer had a different book in mind. This manual contains the gory details of how VMS operates on VAX systems. It provides information necessary and usefull to writers of privileged and kernel mode code, drivers, and other things that just can't be written in user context. A must have for VAX/VMS system programmers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lame to be here after 5 years.... BUT..., December 20, 2005
This review is from: VAX/VMS Internals and Data Structures: Version 5.2 (Paperback)
Well, how to explain this?

I just checked my bookshelf, and connected the biggest challenges in our R&D to existing books and to books I should have, and it was evident, that if I/we would have more people who'd really understand the "message" of this book, we would have less unidentified challenges in our development....

We can argue about the implementation of VMS (or OpenVMS or what ever), but the persons who understand the "big picture of Design" can really make The Difference... Every person who feels to be "superior" and "really knows" how things are/should-be/or-what-ever in Linux/FreeBSD/Windoes/OrWhatever should make sure that they have really read AND understood this book....

Worth of reading, what ever "OS religion" you happen to confess.
