Questions about where to find some free VMS stuff for VMS x86-64
has come up a few times recently.

And I expect that it will come up a lot more the next 2-3 years
when people start migartion projects from VMS Alpha or VMS I64 to
VMS x86-64.

So I spend 3 minutes creating this little helper page:

https://www.vajhoej.dk/arne/vms/x64.html

If someone know about stuff missing just drop me an email and I will
add it.

Not sure what you're looking for?

The 8 Freeware CDs have been available for a long time, and I'd expect the apps
to all compile, once native compilers are available.

More info please ...

I am looking for stuff that has been build and tested for/on
VMS x86-64. The difference between "likely works" and "works".

The vast majority of VMS free stuff will probably build for
(later on) VMS x86-64 with minor code and build script changes.

But for some even those small changes could be a hassle.
System managers not really into programming. Programmers
that don't do the language used.

I suspect that there will even be some interest for
object code that can just be linked on VMS x86-64, so
people don't even need an Itanium and VMS cross compilers.

And then there are the cases where there are a problem
(either the code does something very platform specific
or there is a bug on the VMS compilers for VMS x86-64).

It is an offer. If there is no interest then I will just
delete the page. And I can live with having wasted
some minutes of my life. :-)

I was not aware that VSI had started building the freeware CD stuff on
x86-64.

Cool.

I have added it to the page.
