[HECnet] TOPS-20 DECnet

[Joe Ferraro]

Thanks again for the replies, folks... 

I've skimmed the docs at 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... :(
