How was VMS distributed? I've got a blue box that says "OpenVMS" and
contained a "wallet" of CD-ROMS with VMS for Alpha and VMS for VAX. There
is one VAX-VMS Binraries CD and one that is labelled "Layered Products 1 of
1" and the VMS FreeWare 2.0 CD. I'm looking for the C, Fortran, and PASCAL
compilers. But they don't appear to be on either of these disks. Was there
another CD with even more layered products on it?

You've got a OpenVMS V7.0 distribution kit from the sounds of things, but
you don't have the Software Product Library, which is a whole pile of CD's.
For what you want you're best bet is to just buy the Hobbyist V2 CD for
VAX. Alternativelly, if you're lucky you can dig up a SPL, good luck on
that though, unless you want to shell out something like $1600 for a new
one.
