From 1982 I see. I know that this will run on the
780/785 but what about
the other VAX-11s or the 8600? I am purely a simulator and
have never used
the real thing and I am not sure what years the models in question were
released. Sorry if my questions seem ignorant.

This brings me back to the days on the installation team in February 1982. I was
installing 2.0 and 2.2. I seem to remember VMS 3.5 supporting the 86xx systems. Anyone
have docs?

I have also installed v3.x, but have not packaged them. What I'm waiting for is a
DECus utility which I can't remember the name of, which uses an AST to perform a
command line recall.
If any kind soul remembers this, and can point me to the source, I will start releasing
the VMS stuff in the same format as my repackaged VMS 4 releases.
Kind regards,
Andy Hoffman.

Cool.
My first VMS was 3.4 or 3.5 on an 11/750, September 1984. Moving to
4.0 was a huge shift.

I recall when a DEC FE came a day early and he was quite put out because
we had changed all the defaults.

Back in the days when VMS was still relevant enough for people
to care, changing all those passwords was one of the first
things on the DISA STIGs for VMS. When I did my tour at DISA
it was interesting how many places were found to have not changed
them.
