Years ago there was a thing called PC-VMS that provided a VMS-like shell for
the PC.  It wasn't all that useful, but it was nice to have DCL on the PC.

You gotta admit, though, there is a huge difference between the *nix command
line and the VMS command line.  Unix is terse and cryptic.  VMS is for
people who really like to type!
