Philip Wherry's notes are still one of the best out on the net.? Just ignore the SimH

Since HPE nuked it's OpenVMS documentation site it's harder to find actual OpenVMS
documents online but SUNY has a V7.3 site with most available.

Was already registered, and got my current PAK text file
yesterday (2 day turnaround, not bad).
Where?s the best set of current instructions to install from CD? I think I have actual
Hobbyist CDs.
I want to install on my 3 capable machines:
VaxStation VLC
AlphaStation 300
AlphaServer 2100 4/275
Thanks in advance! I really liked the idea of running VMS on simh
(and learning some more
skills), even if I had to register online. But when I looked, it
seemed I would have to make Polish users group first, became its only
member and president (hehe) and only then register... Holy Schwartz,
they tried to drag me on the dark side, but I resisted.
Nope. All you have to do is go to eisner.decuserve.org and register (follow my
earlier instructions). They don't care what country you are from. All are welcome.
Do it now and get your OpenVMS Hobbyist license(s) that will last until the end of 2021 at
least.
