Ok, I know NOTHING about openVMS. However, this just
came up...
A friend of a friend offered me what he says is a complete set of OpenVMS
media. No manuals, just the media.
Several questions:
Hi Jay,
I don't know too much about OpenVMS still learning, which is the reason
why I have installed it onto my vax.
Yes there is a free hobbyist program, and YES get the complete media
kit, as the what the hobbyist program offers you is a small sample (they
don't mind you copying these btw)
Though to be honest I don't think that it will run on the 11/44
unfortunately.

From what I understand, isn't there some type
of hobbyist free license for
openvms? If so, not sure why I should grab the media
from him if I can just
download it. Or is there a value to getting the media from him, as to it
giving me the ability to purchase a license transfer or something... in
short, is there a special reason getting "real" media is desirable?
Lastly... he said it runs on vax's and pdp's. Not sure if he knows what he's
talking about, so I'll ask here. Could this run on my 11/44?
Thanks for any enlightenment!
