Anyway, thanks to you jogging my memory, I have VTB installed on PDXVAX, which makes the
files from the CD readable. I simply reset the file attributes on the saveset using
OpenVMS 8.3, and I was able to install VTB013.A with no problem. VTB works great, so I
think the problem is MGBOOK, which is unfortunate, as its UI is easier to use.
I finally found VTBOOK, though I haven?t tried it, it can be found at.

The contents of the July 1989 CONOLD CD-ROM are now available on PDXVAX, which is
accessible on HECnet.

Sorry Peter, I wasn?t even thinking about that at the time, as Malte had
reported he was able to read them with DECW$BOOKREADER. Though thinking
about it again, it?s not a bad idea, as it would let me see exactly what
I?m seeing.
Any pointers to ?FILE?? I?m finding it to be ?fun? to try to
track down various tools. Though mention of this made me realize, I
should be able to fix file attributes on a 7.3 or 8.3 system. I think
the install for VTB needs that. I?m *STILL* trying to find the original
VTBOOK.
FILE is a tricky keyword to search for, isn't it :-)
I think it should be on the freeware CDs but there is also a copy here:
