John Egolf just sent me the PAK stuff. Now I have the problem of getting it
on to the bloody machine. Without access to any networks (until they're
licensed), i'm going through the arse-pain of copy/paste from one terminal
window to another. Oh god its tedious.

Just load the VMS PAKs, TCPIP and DECnet PAKs.   Reboot and then you should
be able to get the rest of the PAK file (I'm assuming it's a Stream-LF text
file just like the DSPP PAKs) copied over.   You may need to set file's at-
tributes to be just Stream in order to execute the file as a procedure (ie.
@file).

What I usually do is just roll an iso image with the license file on it
then mount that in simh. No screwing around needed. :)

Similar here with HP DSPP PAKs. I put the PAK files on both floppy and CD;
albeit, few, if any, systems today with floppy drives.
