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 well. The
advantage of tcp/ip is that you should already have the software
available, since it's on the VMS distribution CD, from which I assumed
you installed VMS itself.
But, all this said, you seem to be amazingly skilled at not
understanding documentation and peoples attempts to help, and very
skilled at doing things wrong no matter what people say, so I fear that
no matter what you do, it's going to fail.

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 kermit. Is there a way to do this without involving tcp/ip
protocols?

How about FTP?

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. I’d think that might be a bit of
overkill for what you want, Kermit’s pretty easy to set up.
Best,
Zack.

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' isn't
working nor is anything to do with cdrom working.
There may be several ways to do this. I am not concerned
so much about binary files as several .txt files. Am I on the
right track with telnet and kermit from those who have
attempted and done this?
Bill
