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.
