I'm trying to install the Whitesmiths C compiler under RSX11M using
FLX (using the Whiteshmiths c compiler distribution tape V2.25 from
bitsavers).
Alas, 'FLX' says the tape has zero files and directories, while a dump
under Linux shows definitely some contents.
I tried both the simh & tpc format, no luck here yet.
Am I missing something?
The command I used is 'flx /rs=ms0:[*,*]/do'
Thanks,
Ed

Have you tried just listing the directories with FLX to see if you see
anything?
Also, isn't there some installation script for doing the installation?
Or are you just expected to copy everything over from the tape?
I have never played with the Whitesmith C compiler myself, but I could
check it out, now that I know it exists...

I've noticed this new issue as well. I used to get this list in digest
format which was nice. It seems like this setting has been reset for
everyone.

Jeff,
You may need to set digest mode. There was a database error and some of the options may
have been lost. To adjust your subscriptions go to:-
http://www.classiccmp.org/mailman/listinfo/cctalk
put your e-mail in the last box and hit "unsubscribe or edit options". You may
need to set a password to proceed.

P.S. I copied everyone as others may need to tweak their options.

Well, that is certainly weird.
I'll retry again with it again with a new download of the file.

I can't remember. Are you on HECnet. If so, I now have the tape there as
a virtual tape for RSX... Let me know if you'd like to pick it up.

Well, it did work, turns out the instruction how to extract the
data is ... in the file itself as 'instal.doc'
For those who want to install Whitesmiths C, use the following
commands to get it done under RSX11M/MP
$ all ms0:
$ mou/for ms0:
$ flx /rs=ms0:[*,*]movemt.cmd/do
$ @movemt
specify ms0: as the answer, et voila it's done
Now it's playing time again

Speaking of Whitesmiths - I have some floppies for VAX.
VAX/VMS Fortran v4.2 (1,2 of 2)
" (help library) (1/1)
WSL VAX/VMS C compiler v2.25 (1,2 of 2)
Whitesmiths C POS (1/1)
2.2cpos11 disk 1 of 1 native C compiler by Whitesmiths, Ltd.
If someone in North America (preferably) can safely image and publish
these, I can ship them.
