The more I like my VAX, the more I hate Compaq...

If this is a dupe I appologize. My ISP's email freaked out big time just before I went into work, and it doesn't look like this made it out (if I read the bounce right). Figured I'd resend it since the list of links is useful. Actually I suspect in his case he's installed the Commerical 7.1 kit, but the only real difference is the layout on the CD. However, you bring up an excellent point, I'd forgotten what a royal pain it is to get DECwindows running on a VAX as compared to on an Alpha. I've only installed DECwindows on one of my VAXen, and don't haven't even bothered with it on most of my Alpha's. On the Alpha you simply do the install, and then install and load the license PAKs. IIRC, I actually had to break out the manual to get it loaded on the VAX, how embarassing :^) Actually I suspect that URL might not be around much longer, as I've noticed that http://www.openvms.compaq.com:8000/ now works. The frustrating thing is they've started putting up the doc's for individual software at different URL's, for example start here: http://www.openvms.digital.com/commercial/ (actually this looks like the second most useful besides the actual doc site, all kinds of good links). and find links to docs at: http://www.openvms.digital.com/commercial/basic/basic_index.html http://www.openvms.digital.com/commercial/c/c_index.html http://www.openvms.digital.com/commercial/ada/documentation.html http://www.digital.com/fortran/docs/ http://www.openvms.digital.com/commercial/pascal/documentation.html For a non-Y2k compliant web page see: :^) http://www.openvms.digital.com/commercial/cplus/cplus_index.html Zane | Zane H.
