VAX/VMS implement "vfork()" which is an implementation of the most common use-cases of fork.

VAX and VMS are not POSIX or UNIX-like.

VAX is a hardware architecture. I'm not one to nitpick, but differentiating between VAX and VMS when VMS ran on the VAX is confusing.

On their POSIX compatibility layer.
