Are some of your specifically-defined decimal values and similar REQUIRED?

I followed that MONGEN almost exactly and OPR.EXE STILL can't be run!

No, they are to increase the DECnet message size on Ethernet and to set the
DECnet "hello" timer to 90 seconds.

Have you checked SYS:SYSJOB.INI against TWONKY? This is mine (working):

!Modern MICs (later than 11C(1231)) don't need this blank line, older ones do.
NODNAM     ;Loads INI:NODNAM.INI then starts MX

And what about system jobs? Is there any job in "^C" or "TO" state? Mine are
all in "SL" (sleep) or "HB" (hibernated) mode... Use SYSTAT to check:

Some of the above (e.g. FAL-10, NML and MX) may not be present on your system.
