Thanks for forwarding this info. to the list. When, or if, they get
'round to makine the distribution available again, hopefully they'll
make this software available on TK50 media as well. CD ROMs are nice,
although they aren't too useful to those without SCSI boards in their
VAXen. (yes, I know, I should purchase a VAXstation with SCSI :-) At
the very least, I should extract a spare Y power connector from a
PeeCee and use that to get power from a disk drive to a TK50 on my VAX
4000-200 and make a backup of the VMS 5.x that I already have. Then,
I could also make copies for others who need it. The one thing that
I'm not sure about at the moment is how to make a tape
bootable... time to read the on-line HELP pages.
