Overview

The OpenVMS Wizard looks forward to your questions on HP OpenVMS and on HP layered products for OpenVMS, now in our interactive ITRC OpenVMS discussion forums.

The Wizard has been impressed and overwhelmed and -- with over ten thousand entries -- even buried by your response to this website, and by the quality of the questions posed. With the move to the interactive OpenVMS forum, you can now receive a quicker response to your questions than the Wizard could ever provide, and you can discuss and can update your question, and a wider variety of HP engineers and customers can participate in and can provide you with answers and with a wide variety of alternatives.

Access to the contents of the classic Ask The Wizard and Ask the OpenVMS I64 Wizard areas will continue, and the existing discussions will remain accessable, and you will continue to be able to download the entire Ask The Wizard contents as a zip archive.

Thank you for your interest in OpenVMS, and welcome to the ITRC forums!
