Hello-
I have been pursuuing the OpenVMS license and media for
about 6 months with no success.
i.e.
http://www.openvms.compaq.com/openvms/freeware/
http://www.montagar.com/dfwlug/openvms-faq.html
I have an AlphaStation 200/233 that I would like to install
OpenVMS to.
Do you have any ideas on how I get a copy through legal
or hobbiest channels?
