Thanks for the detailed notes! It's wild to see the virtual network you created; I was just thinking this week about _some_ things that DECnet got right (backwards compatible evolution thru "Phases", PHase IV "areas" could span over multiple "links"; "hello timer" values in routing packets) .network /topology [ANF10 network: connected to BITXT1(10), located at BITXT1(10), 1 node] Node BITXT1 (10) None [DECnet network: local node BITXT1, 12 reachable nodes in area 7] Name Number Line Cost Hops L.Links Delay BITXOM (7.72) KDP-0-0 7 2 BITXOO (7.61) KDP-0-0 4 1 BITXOR (7.71) KDP-0-0 7 2 BITXOT (7.70) KDP-0-0 7 2 0 1000 BITXOU (7.82) KDP-0-0 7 2 0 1000 BITXOV (7.60) KDP-0-0 7 2 0 1000 BITXOW (7.74) KDP-0-0 7 2 0 1000 BITXOX (7.76) KDP-0-0 7 2 BITXOZ (7.81) KDP-0-0 7 2 BITXT0 (7.79) KDP-0-0 7 2 BITXT1 (7.80) local 0 0 0 5000 MBSERV (7.6) KDP-0-0 7 2 But.... That delivers the following: 1. Dmr Tops10-702: D8RINT V006 ANF ok Decnet phase-III ok 2. Dmr Tops10-703: D8RINT V016 ANF ok Decnet phase IV crash 3. Dmr Tops10-704/5: D8RINT V022 ANF ok Decnet phase IV crash (UBA) ...... The things to do are: 1. Retrieve either BB-X128A-SB or a full backup of a 702 system pack with [10,7] build tree 2. Repair D8RINT.MAC V016 to a newer V017 and possibly some Tops10-703 modules 3. Repair D8RINT.MAC V022 to a newer V023 and possibly some Tops10-704 modules V017 of the file was already used (on the way to V020 (if versions were octal, or V018 if they weren't)), and there's some possibility that there was a V023 that wasn't released, or hasn't been found, yet. So V016A and V022A might be better designations for modified files. Also I have some tiny memory that "WEM" stopcode was one where it was someone's initials!
