[HECnet] Windows 10 DECnet?

[Jason Brady]

Hi All,

Tried to install Pathworks 32 7.4 on both Windows 7 Home Premium and
Windows 8.1 PCs. (No Windows 10 machine to test with.)

CD installer doesn't function but navigated to the window2k(sp?) folder and
ran setup. Process completed after a few complaints about unrecognized
drivers. Used default location C:\PW32.

Seemed to work...but no mention of Pathworks on any of the Control Panel
dialogs.

Ran NCP (located in the C:\PW32 folder) in a DOS window. Returns error
"Failed to find NCP parse table file ncptab.bin" even though the file
exists in the same folder as ncp.

aslpass (Password Assistant) and nftw32 (DECnet File Transfer) programs
run, but nothing to connect to.

Any ideas, or is the software too old and incompatible with newer Windows
releases?

On the good side, the excellent PowerTerm 525 emulator installs and runs
perfectly. Far superior to putty. (I use a newer, paid version of PowerTerm
Pro every day for my OpenVMS systems.)

Thank you,
Jason
