DESCRIPTION
OpenVMS is a general-purpose, multiuser operating
system that runs in both production and development
environments. Starting with OpenVMS Version 8.2, we
introduced support for OpenVMS for Integrity servers.
OpenVMS Version 8.2-1 continues support for all of the
Integrity servers and options supported in HP OpenVMS
Version 8.2 for Integrity servers, as well as introduces
support for additional Integrity server systems. Open-
VMS Version 8.2-1 is a replacement for OpenVMS Ver-
sion 8.2 on Integrity. Standard support for OpenVMS
Version 8.2 on Integrity ends June 2006 or when Open-
VMS V8.3 ships. OpenVMS Alpha supports Hewlett-
Packard’s AlphaServer series computers. OpenVMS
software supports industry standards, facilitating appli-
cation portability and interoperability. OpenVMS pro-
vides symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) support for mul-
tiprocessing systems.
The OpenVMS operating system can be tuned to
perform well in a wide variety of environments.
This includes combinations of compute-intensive, I/O-
intensive, client/server, real-time, and other environ-
ments. Actual system performance depends on the type
of computer, available physical memory, and the num-
ber and type of active disk and tape drives.
The OpenVMS operating system has well-integrated
networking, distributed computing, client/server, multi-
processing, and windowing capabilities. It contains ex-
tensive features that promote ease-of-use, improve the
productivity of programmers, and facilitate system man-
agement.

USER ENVIRONMENT
Users can access the OpenVMS software by using the
English-like DIGITAL Command Language (DCL), the
command language for OpenVMS that is supplied with
the system. DCL commands provide information about
the system and initiate system utilities and user pro-
grams. DCL commands take the form of a command
name followed by parameters and qualifiers.
Users can enter DCL commands at a terminal or include
them in command procedures. These command proce-
dures can be run interactively or submitted to a batch
queue for later processing. Information about DCL and
