That's why I used the term "indefinite period," as opposed to "forever." I assume
sufficient interest will make the "indefinite" period a "definite" one! :)

I also assume that this statement might hold true for other compiler vendors -
sufficient interest in VAX/VMS would cause them to generate a port. However,
I don't think this statement would necessarily be cause to announce multi-vendor
support of VAX/VMS just yet!
