I assume you have at least one VMS Internals and Data Structures book?

Why not use Mach as a basis? I think someone is trying to do that.
(And maybe is thinking of running a F11*ACP (4.x-ish) there)

Some might say you may need a more detailed plan?

: that are in fact moving VMS features into Linux!!!

Do not forget ftp.lp.se::[.free-vms]
It has a string library (descriptors!) among other things.

What about security features?
(See classifications at
http://www.radium.ncsc.mil/tpep/epl/epl-by-class.html)
What about using http://www.nsa.gov/selinux/?
(But as a start, cutting out /tmp and using string descriptors without
null-terminations will probably help a lot?)
