I haven’t looked but does the simh 11/780 also provide PDP-11 compatibility
mode? You used to run a very large amount of -11 code in VMS 1.x..

I see there’s a MIPS edition of the second book. My copy of the second book has
Hennessy as the first author.
Time for a re-read - it’s been a while since I read both

If I had to write the programs I’d either google for an example to copy or have
a read of Stevens “TCP/IP illustrated” book series - the only risk of reading

The OpenVMS EXCHANGE command is the most likely tool used to transfer the data.
As it’s name implies, it is designed to move data to and from foreign systems

people have mentioned the format is much more likely to be RT-11 than ODS-2.
You mentioned that you had a directory listing of one or more of the floppies.
Can you scan one (or type it up)? The layout of the directory listing should
give a clue to the on-disk format.

I’m sure the archive would have been set up by Paul Nankervis who I used to

Let’s say UCX had some deficiencies (being polite) and was replaced with TCPIP
Services for OpenVMS. This TCP/IP stack was based on the code from Tru64 Unix
(aka Digital Unix aka OSF/1) and used what was known as the basket to map the
OpenVMS API to Tru64 and vice v
purchased two of the first
RA81s in Australia but ran about 15 of the first 100 shipped”. My FS guy and I
could replace an RA81 HDA in 15 minutes - we had lots of practice - I think we
replaced 10 or 15 in six months :-(
