	{~~{stub}~~}		What is the difference between MicroVMS and VMS?

			MicroVMS is a special "downsized" version of VMS V4.x for the (at that time) new [[MicroVAX]]/[[VAXstation]] models.
			There were no other MicroVMS versions, neither before nor after VMS V4.x.
			The very first version of MicroVMS for the MicroVAX I was named MicroVMS V1.0, which sometimes leads to confusion.
			MicroVMS V1.0 is probably a kind of pre-release MicroVMS V4.0.
			All other MicroVMS versions were numbered exactly like their "big brothers".

			Reasons that led to the fork of MicroVMS:
			* Cookbook-Style Documentation
			* Simplification of System Management
			* Hardware restrictions
			** [[RX50]]
			** [[RD51]] 10MB

			Reasons that made MicroVMS unnessary from VMS V5 onwards
			* Tape load device [[TK50]]
			* Larger disks
			* Integration into a [[Local Area VAXcluster]]

			V4.1: 3 RX50

			DEC called MicroVMS "retired" from VMS 5.0 onwards

			Wikipedia:
			MicroVMS was a distribution of VAX/VMS designed for MicroVAX and VAXstation hardware, which had less memory and disk space than larger VAX systems of the time. MicroVMS split up VAX/VMS into multiple kits, which a customer could use to install a subset of VAX/VMS tailored to their specific requirements. MicroVMS releases were produced for each of the V4.x releases of VAX/VMS and was discontinued when VAX/VMS V5.0 was released.
