Free/Cheap OpenVMS ODBC drivers

Comment:
Has anyone found a free ODBC driver to read OpenVMS's RMS database files? Indexed or Sequential?
I am aware of Connx, Attunity and other paid options. Something in .NET would be great!

".NET" & "Free" is a combination I would not suggest. You may take a look on the VMS freeware CD's, if there si a solution available, or on other locations where VMS freeware is available. But I never came across a freeware "ODBC" like package. It would mean some VMS program, triggered by a Windows (or *ix) based program to return certain data. That's the way Attunity and Connx work (and Oracle, and Sybase...) I haven't seen such a product for RMS - yet.
Summary: Hello all, I sort of ran into this place by mistake, but even better! Anyways, I was noticing posts related to learning VMS. I run a couple of public access OpenVMS servers. Theres a "DEMO" ...
Summary: I do have an original Alphabook1 System for sale but it runs OpenVMS 6.2 and it's located in Germany. It's fully operational except that the installed battery pack is weak. Please feel free to get in...
