Hello-
I have been pursuuing the OpenVMS license and media for
about 6 months with no success.
i.e.
http://www.openvms.compaq.com/openvms/freeware/
http://www.montagar.com/dfwlug/openvms-faq.html
I have an AlphaStation 200/233 that I would like to install
OpenVMS to.
Do you have any ideas on how I get a copy through legal
or hobbiest channels?

Boy am I glad I
haven't overwritten any old VMS'es with
anything, even OpenVMS. I'm looking around at Compaq's
website right now. Looks like prices might be $1000 and up.
I would pay half that, especially for a legal site wide (my house
= 3+ Vaxes) liscence.
If you've got VMS systems with valid license PAK's that you don't have
hardcopies for, you should really dump the license PAK's and print them
out! Then keep the printouts somewhere safe.
