If that's not what you're using, then please explain exactly what's going on. Since you don't seem to be that familiar with working in this environment, how did you manage to get the license file from where you received the email to the environment you're running simh in?<br>

One thing I despise generally Mark is GUIs, I have been working from <br>
CLI. But I installed the LDXE desktop environment which I don't know <br>
much about but copy/paste should be simple. LDXE gave me one Hell of a <br>
time with copy/paste, and absolutely whatever I did would not let me <br>
select from xterm or the desktop the errors. So I wrote them down and <br>
will simply copy myself.<br>
<br>
sim> att tq -f ansi-vms vmst /* the license file */<br>
<br>
Can't open: //mst - no such file or directory.<br>
<br>
Can't open tape image.<br>
<br>
Of course there might be something I am forgetting and not doing here.<br>
<br>
I also type at the prompt in all caps, same result. For example,<br>
<br>
ATT -F ANSI-VMS VMST<br>
<br>
Same errors.<br>
