Open Source Software for OpenVMS
This is a list of open source software for OpenVMS found on the Internet.
| Name | Description | Language | Architectures | Author | Year | Link |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SQLite 3 | This is a native port of the SQLite database package to OpenVMS. It delivers the SQLite database to OpenVMS using the following native features:
Despite these OpenVMS-specific improvements the database file maintained by SQLite is still portable to other SQLite-based applications running on other systems. |
C | VAX, Alpha, Integrity | Tim Sneddon | 2013 | Github |
| NetElf | Run the client side of NetELF to download and execute a program over the network from a server. The server sends an arbitrary binary and command-line arguments. | C | Harry Roberts | 2017 | Github | |
| NETLIB | A library for writing TCP/IP based network applications. NETLIB provides a consistent, VMS-style interface for TCP/IP-based network programs, operating with all of the currently available TCP/IP packages available today for VMS (with one minor exception). In addition, NETLIB allows for flexibility in in the use of a TCP/IP package, by selecting the vendor-dependent library code at run-time, rather than link-time. | C, Visual Basic | VAX, Alpha | Hunter Goatley | Github | |
| MX | Email-exchange software | C, C++ | VAX, Alpha, Integrity | Matthew Madison | 1994 | Version 6.0 on Github, featured in Freeware CD (V4.1, V4.2) |
| MMK/MAKE | MMK is a "make" utility for VMS systems | C, Macro | VAX, Alpha, Integrity | Matthew Madison | 1992 | V5.1 on Github, V3.9-9 featured in Freeware CD V80 |
| UnQLite | A VMS port of unqlite-db 1.1.6. UnQLite is a transactional NoSQL database in the same vein as SQLite. | C | Alpha, Integrity | 2012 | Github | |
| WATCHER | WATCHER is an idle terminal monitor. It logs out interactive users after a certain period of inactivity. WATCHER is fully configurable, allowing the system manager to define which terminals to watch, what measurements to use, and how long a terminal should be idle before getting zapped. It also includes provisions for preventing logouts or overriding inactivity settings based on any combination of username, UIC, terminal, privileges, image being run, held identifier, and time of day. | BLISS | VAX, Alpha, Integrity | Matthew Madison | 1994 | V4.1 on Github, V2.9-1 in Freeware |
| DiskFree | An implementation of the Linux df command (view disk usage) | VAX, Alpha, Integrity (untested) | Alan Fay | Github | ||
| FTPD server | An FTP server with support for UNIX file lists | VAX, Alpha | Alan Fay | Github | ||
| MD5 sum | A utility to print or check MD5 checksums (RFC 1321) | VAX, Alpha | Alan Fay | Github | ||
| shasum | A utility to print or check SHA checksums (FIPS PUB 180-2) | VAX, Alpha | Alan Fay | Github | ||
| JRuby | A port of JRuby to VMS (possibly frozen) | Philippe Vouters | 2012 | Github | ||
| CMS-EXPORT | A utility for OpenVMS to export CMS library content and revisions history. CMS is a version control system commonly used in OpenVMS environment (part of DECset). Valued for being efficient and time-proven, CMS also has its share of drawbacks -- lack of export options being one of these. cms-export utility allows export of a specified CMS library (or a set of library elements) into a file in git-fast-export format, which subsequently can be used to create a repository with an alternative version management system such as git, fossil etc. | DCL | VAX, Alpha | Artur Shepilko | 2018 | Github |
| Ruby | A port of Ruby for OpenVMS based on Ruby 1.8.2 (MRI). This work is in early alpha development stage and not suitable for release yet | C, Ruby, HTML, Yacc | Alpha | Ben Armstrong | Github | |
| ES40 emulator | A portable emulator for the ES40 Alpha | C++ | Linux | Github repository maintained by Dmitry Kalinkin | 1994 | Github |
| PLIBSYS | A cross-platform system C library with some helpful routines. It has zero third-party dependencies and uses only native system calls. | C, C++ | Alexander Saprykin | Github, wiki | ||
| VMSComFiles | Lorin Ricker's personal VMS command and auxiliary support files | DCL | Lorin Ricker | Github | ||
| LIBVMS | This package is a reimplementation of the OpenVMS system services for use in a POSIX environment. | C | Tim Sneddon | 2013 | Github | |
| VTFM https://github.com/FreeBSD-pzn/vtfm | ||||||
| T4 monitor | t4Monitor is a module for Windows and Linux that allows easy collection, preprocessing and reporting of generic OpenVMS' T4 compliant counters stored in Format-1 or Format-2 Comma Separated Values (CSV) files. | Python | J.M. Fernández | 2014 | Github | |
| OpenSDL | Open version of the OpenVMS Structure Definition Language (SDL). | C, Yacc, Lex | Jonathan Belanger | 2007 | Github | |
