Around that time, I inquired to Oracle about a hobbyist version of RDB. They
checked into it and now Oracle has recently added RDB for VMS to their
"Oracle Technology Network" (at http://otn.oracle.com/ ).

If you sign up (which is free), you can then go to
http://otn.oracle.com/products/rdb7/ and click on the gray "Software" box to
download the software. It's available for both VAX and Alpha.

Cheers to Oracle!
