[HECnet] Getting openvms going

[Keith Halewood]

In the early days, I remember configuring the card reader for SIMH VAX, attaching it to the COM file containing the licences from HP Hobbyist.
From the VMS prompt, I copied the card reader device to a local file then executed it to install all of the licences.

Having said that, a copy/paste into your PUTTY window that’s running a CREATE will work on OPA0:

I checked my email and this is what it says:

An alternate way people get files onto their server or emulated server is to either create your own iso
   image file with the files you want to transfer.  If you do this, there is a good chance the OpenVMS file
   attributes will be lost on your Windows (or Linux) system.  To compensate for this, copy the files onto
   your OpenVMS disk (from the iso) and set the attributes:
   bck:
   $ set file file.bck/attribute=(lrl:32256,rfm:fix)
   sav:
   $ set file file.sav/attribute=(lrl:32256,rfm:fix)
   pcsi:
   $ set file file.pcsi/attribute=(lrl:8192,rfm:fix,rat:none)
   txt:
   $ set file file.txt/attribute=(rfm:STM) or (rfm:STMLF)

The attribs you need to change are right in the hobbyist license e-mail.

And also I seem to remember a .COM which is a executable. And a file needs a name changed.
