Following up on my previous posting, I've been
made aware that all of the
DECUS RSX Sig tapes are already available on-line. Cool. I thought I was
going to have my 15 minutes of fame.

Well, easy come, easy go!
I'm going to pursue the possibility that it's
legal to post the RSX11M+ v
3.0 distribution on-line. I think I'd like to have a signed agreement with
Mentec that this will be okay. I don't want someone to introduce me to the
DMCA the hard way :-). Hopefully Mentec will answer my email. I can handle
the legal side of this (it's a good thing my father is a retired attorney),
but could someone give me some hints as to the technical side of posting the
tapes? There are two tapes, one is the distribution, and the other is
standalone BRU.
Megan Gentry has stated that she will take care of that SMALL detail for you!
You can e-mail her at: "Megan <mbg(a)world.std.com>" if you have not
already seen her post sent a few minutes before your post to which this
is a reply. Her post stated:
==================================================
If I could get a copy of RSX11M+ V3.0 from someone, I could package
it up with the Mentec license (the way the RT V5.3 kit is) and try
to contact the appropriate people to get it up on gatekeeper.

Well, I also have DECnet, DECmail and update E tapes
as well... I'll keep
you posted.
Thanks,

Please keep us posted and contact Megan - I suspect that she will be able to
take care of all of the legal hassle for you (and everyone else).
I would have sent this to you privately, but I can't see that
"dadaboom.com"
is a valid site - if it is, please let us know on your next post and if you want
any of these messages to be private.
Sincerely yours,
