I know that SIMH can support VHD files. But, can it support difference files
using the VHD format? If so, how do you set it up?
The reason I ask is that I use an online backup service, and every time I
run SIMH it has to back up the whole virtual disk. It would help if it would
only backup the
Differencing VHDs are supported.
See
sim> HELP RQ Attach
for an example of how to create one. Once created you merely attach it.

I have been studying the best way to copy from a vax simulator with openvms
to a linux host, text files. The Docs look like telnet and kermit are the way
to do it. So is there not a device like ISO that I can copy TOO? I wouldn't
think because cdrom is RO after all. and 'set rq writeenable'
Hi Bill,
Kermit is definitely robust enough to do what you want. You could always do the
“type the file to your terminal and copy paste,” dance too. That would work for
text files particularly. ON OS X at least there’s a way to save terminal output
to a text file as well.
I don’t know about CDs
How about FTP?

I don't want to get involved with FTP. That's setting up tcpip in VMS and
lately I've been having terrible problems with that. I have set that aside. For
now anyway. IDK about the old VMSs but openvms is new to me and I don't want to
go too far too much. Thank's for the idea. My linux does have
If you want to go down the Kermit path you’ll need Kermit for the VMS side and
you’ll need to find a way to get it into your simulated environment.

OK. I will look into it. And see what I can do.

1. Attach a (new) host file to the simulated printer on VMS.
2. Print your VMS text file to file to the simulated printer.
3. Let some time elapse, to make sure the print spooler finishes.
4. Detach file from the simulated printer.
5. VMS text file is now on your host in the host file you specifi
Most versions of Linux have a program "dos2unix" and "unix2dos" for that
problem. It may need to be installed, depending on which distribution you have.

And all worked fine there. But print file.txt on VMS is not so simple. But
that's another story.

That is pretty neat! Knowing that it works makes me want to scrounge up

I updated my Simh Hardware Reference Guide for DEC machines. I didn't
include the MicroVAX 1/2, the rtVAX and the VAX-11 730 and 750 yet. They
will be in a future release.

If you have problems with getting tcp/ip set up, it's nothing to what
you'll have trying to get emulated CDs working cross operating systems,
and getting files and directories in the correct format.
I would *never* go down that path.
kermit is going to be just as much problems in the end as we
One approach would be to simply use telnet client that can dump a session to a
file or copy it to the clipboard, and then inside VMS do something like "COPY

The only thing I know I can do is to use 'type filename' and log that to a file
attached to simh. That would take a very long time though. People tell me
kermit in vms can be a pain.
