Ok, that all sounds right and I'll take your word for it. I
followed it only from the side and not directly as a customer, since
by then I was really not doing much VMS anything. That said, I had
thought some of the original folks that were part of the PMDF work
were the same crew that did SOL (Michel Gien - the Pascal rewrite of
UNIX - whom I knew in those days from the OS side of the world). I
also thought the reason why the the firm was named after the TGV (and
yes I stand corrected on the name) was because they were French and at
the time the French bullet train was know for being one of the fastest
in the world and the French were very proud of it.
I always thought TGV was "Three Guys and a VAX".
