Hey all,
I'm trying to install BP2 on my SIMH system (need to fix my
9-track before it'll be worth trying on real iron). I'm
having some trouble with the install, though. I'm using the
2.7 tape found on trailing-edge's rsxdists FTP area, and I
can copy BP2RSX.CMD just fine. However, when I try to run
it and install, one of two things happens, depending on my
choices:
- If I select the prebuilt distribution, there are a number
of files missing, and it barfs after a number of errors.
- If I select non-prebuilt, it crashes with a "Reserved
inst execution" error; if I delete the .ENABLE QUIET at the
start of the indirect file, I see that this happens when it
tries to execute the DIALOG.TSK file it's just copied.
I'm not in the mood to actually run this through a debugger,
since I'm still somewhat unfamiliar with development on RSX.
Does anyone know if this is maybe a known dodgy tape image?
I can list the directories just fine with FLX, so I assume
it's not totally boned, but this is puzzling me (partly
because I'm a bit new to RSX and the like).

Sorry, all, my very next search turned up a nearly identical post
wherein Johnny Billquist notes that the 2.7 tape image is corrupted.
My apologies for the noise.
