check out http://vmsone.com- looks to have all the layered products up under
webpages:OpenVMS Kits. Haven't got my VMS skills to where I have tried them, yet, but
it looks like the read deal.
This is John Wisniewski's site, and I'm not sure who has custody of it or how
long it will be up now that he's gone, so possibly someone with a high-speed
connection could look at mirroring the VMS stuff.

Are you sure it's John's site? The date/time stamps on the stuff
I've looked at are about 8 1/2 months after his death.
Personally what interests me is the collection of DECUS tapes! Wow!!!

I've got the space & the bandwidth. Two things: 1) what is a good package to
download in bulk under XP? 2) The site does not load very fast. Is it on a
high speed link?

Several spring to mind but probably the most well known one is WGET,
though some sites actively block it because it can be such a bandwidth
hog.

If you try to download in bulk you are likely to
find the system gone in short order. I know the
guy that is currently maintaining the system.

New subject: Air "Purifier" Warning
For those of you who get Electronic Design, check out Bob Pease's column in the
current (September 29, 2005) issue. It deals with the mayhem that retail "air
purifiers" can wreak on rubber hoses, drive belts, pinch rollers, seals, etc.
Basically, these things are high-voltage corona generators whose "activated
oxygen" output is nothing more or less than ozone. Yup, the same rubber-rotting
ozone that's death to rubber.
Maybe it's a good idea to steer clear of the things.
Cheers,
Chuck

Yeah.
But SOME people want to plug it into their USB port.

How do you open a window on a VT100?
Yeah.
But SOME people want to plug it into their USB port.
I am sure there's some joke in there about Windows drivers for the USB
interface...

How do you open a window on a VT100?
You log into a UNIX system on it, bring up Emacs and type "<cntrl>x
2"
and it pops up two windows.

Gone as in no longer at HP or gone as in this mortal coil? If I had a high
speed connection I'd mirror it but I think the man for the task is Fred
van K if he's still about?
