How can I set up a OpenVMS VM environment

I am looking to set up a VM running openVMS if there is a free version or possibly freeVMS? I essentially want to set up a VMS environment with the EVE and EDI editors.

I run a Mac so I'd like to set it up on that, I could sort out a PC if necessary but I'd rather not.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks James

  • If you are not going to use OpenVMS commercially you can get free licenses from here. They will also provide you with access to downloadable media once you register.

    The only free emulator I'm aware of that runs on OS X is the VAX emulator in SIMH. See the SIMH github project.

    There are various Alpha emulators; most assume a Windows host, though I think there is now one that runs on Linux.
