I came across an article on networkworld.com, by Peter Wayner, titled “7 Timeless Lessons of Programming ‘graybeards’”.
VM regions are often used as sharable address spaces in VOS applications. This is a very efficient way of allowing multiple processes to access the same set of addresses.
VOS stream files are limited in growth to about 2 GB. This is because the definition of interfaces such as s$seq_position, s$get_port_status, s$lock_region, etc.
Recently, a customer wrote to Stratus Customer Service to ask whether we could recommend an “atomic clock” for use with his OpenVOS system.

Today, a customer asked me how much disk storage a single VOS module can address. Here is my response.
When you are fixing bugs in existing code, it is easy to fall into the habit of finding the “mistake” in the code and adjusting the code to avoid the mistake.
Here is a short list of useful enhancements to OpenVOS that have been suggested by our customers.
