VMS default protection for the stack and data is read, write, and no-execute. In addition this protection is provided at four levels: kernel, exec, supervisor, and user. Just one of the many reasons why VMS is so secure.; Posted by: mespoppa Posted on: 08/16/04 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
