What I do know is that you don't have a NCP.EXE under TOPS-20. NCP is a submode in OPR.

Thanks again for the replies, folks...

I've skimmed the docs at bitsavers.org <http://bitsavers.org>, but I
agree -- they seem scarce. The docs I have reference NCP, but the tapes
I have didn't restore ncp.exe... I'll keep looking... thanks again...

Thanks for the show exec Johnny... I have confirmed that the tape I used
is DN20 4.0... I need to go RTFM / see if I missed some files on the DUMP.

      I think so too.

      Few hours ago, after my first answer to Joe, I've discovered that
      digitized
      docs about TOPS-20 in general (and DECnet-20 in particular) are quite
      scarce. Just for comparison: TOPS-10 software notebooks are almost
      complete
      while TOPS-20 ones are almost absent... :(
