Sweet! :-)
I'm thinking I'll stick with VMS 6.2.   With patches.
I like trying appropriate vintage VMS for the machines. It's weird how the subtle differences creep in.
It's obvious at 6.1 how much TCP/IP, for example, is a 'bolt on'. Not required for the OS. DECnet and underlying clustering protocols working just fine on their own. Happy days.

I like appropriate vintage OSes for systems, too.   6.2 also seems a bit lighter.


It's also an excuse to break out the SPL and install some of the wonderful old tools and apps.

Yup. ;)


Regards, Mark.
