What Was Old Is New Again

This document outlines significant updates to the VSI ACMSDI gateway and client software, designed to modernize how non-OpenVMS applications interact with business-critical ACMS systems. Key enhancements include:

• Platform and Language Support: Support for modern languages (C, Java, Python, C#, PHP, and Lua) on both Windows and Linux, utilizing SWIG for interface generation.
• Security: Optional end-to-end SSL/TLS encryption for all network traffic via OpenSSL.
• Infrastructure Improvements: Removal of legacy DECnet and AppleTalk protocols, improved gateway logging, and the availability of 32-bit and 64-bit Windows DLLs.
• Operational Changes: Simplified installation using PCSI for OpenVMS, MSI for Windows, and tar files for Linux, alongside updated instructions for system configuration and client development.
