13Managing Special Processing Environments  



This chapter is of interest primarily to OpenVMS VAX users.OpenVMS Alpha and I64 extended functions and features are describedin other OpenVMS documents.

The OpenVMS operating system supports the following specialenvironments:



This chapter describes how to set up and manage these specialprocessing environments.
