Hi all, Please bear with me for what I'm sure is a beginner question, but it has me beat. :(
I've set up SIMH, built it all, got my kits for OpenVMS and have installed the system. So far, so good. The problem I'm having is in getting the licence file I received under the Hobbyist scheme onto the VAX. I had thought that 'burning' it into an ISO on my Linux box and then mounting that image would work. It does, but not completely. According to the e-mail, the licence file is in the form of a VMS command file. On my Linux box, this looks just fine. However, irrespective of whether I use Linux or Windows line endings, when I transfer the file onto the VAX as above, all the lines run together and the file format is trashed. If I edit the file on the VAX, I can see the LF or CR/LF characters in the editor, just as they should be. Maybe I've forgotten more about the VAX than I think. WHAT does it expect to see as a line terminator? If I know, then I can fix the file on my Linux box and transfer it over again, but if neither Linux nor Windows line endings work, I've no idea what I need to try. Or am I missing something, and there's some fundamental flaw with the whole idea of transferring text files via an ISO image? I really don't want to have to enter all the licence data interactively, or fix a couple of thousand line endings in the editor! There must be SOME way of getting the file onto a new setup? Thanks for any assistance, Brian. _______________________________________________ Simh mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.trailing-edge.com/mailman/listinfo/simh
