  OpenVMS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
OpenVMS (Open Virtual Memory System or just VMS) is the name of a high-end computer server operating system that runs on the VAX and Alpha family of computers developed by Digital Equipment Corporation of Maynard, Massachusetts (now owned by Hewlett-Packard), and more recently on Hewlett-Packard systems built around Intel Itanium CPU.
OpenVMS is a multi-user, multiprocessing virtual memory-based operating system (OS) designed for use in time sharing, batch processing, real time (process priorities can be set higher than OS kernel jobs) and transaction processing.
OpenVMS itself is implemented in a variety of different languages (primarily BLISS, VAX Macro and C), and the common language environment and calling standard supports freely mixing these languages, as well as Ada, PL/I, Fortran, Basic, and others.

 OpenVMS - a System of Structure - OSNews.com
In its initial concept, OpenVMS (then VAX/VMS) sought to provide the functionality and capabilities of a mainframe-class system at a small fraction of the size and cost, while at the same time providing higher levels of reliability and integrity.
OpenVMS clusters, which are composed of multiple OpenVMS processors sharing a file system, have reported uptimes measured in decades, across system updates, CPU changes, and mass storage reconfigurations and upgrades.
OpenVMS was the first system to be certified by the US National Computer Security Center at the C2 level, in 1986.

 OpenVMS Version 7.1 Release Notes   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
If you upgrade your OpenVMS Alpha Version 7.0 system to OpenVMS Alpha Version 7.1 when Spiralog is installed, and later remove Spiralog or install any version of Spiralog, this action will cause a failure in the Backup utility, the batch and print queuing system, and DECdtm services.
When installing DECpresent Version 1.0A on OpenVMS VAX Version 6.1 or later, system managers can safely ignore the IVP failure for the CDA Converter Library Version 1.1 because that version of the product is bundled with DECpresent but does not work on OpenVMS VAX Version 6.1 and later.
OpenVMS VAX Version 7.1 supports DECwindows Motif Version 1.2--3, but it also has problems unless a remedial kit is installed.

I compressed a text file with PKZIP for DOS (or Windows), but when I try to edit the extracted file under OpenVMS, there are "^M" characters at the end of each line.
Since there are many possible text file formats under OpenVMS, you need to tell OpenVMS which kind of text file you have.
One solution would be to use the OpenVMS "BACKUP" command to create a VMS saveset, and then use PKZIP to compress that saveset.
