OpenVMS Hobbyist Program ie: VMS Licenses are Nolonger issued for VAX !

[babydr DBA James W. Laferriere]

 	Hello Maciej & Jan & ALL ,  THe short story is VMS licenses Vax hardware 
will nolonger be issued .  By Either of vms software , inc. Or HP .  It's gone .

 	I have a few QBus Vax based systems (and maybe another not qbus) which 
I'd really like to have be useful to me for a FEW more years .  Like hopefully 
10-20 years more or until the hardware itself is failing .  I also have a SIMH 
instance functioning for OS testing as the VMS I had running on it worked 
flawlessly .

 	I am willing and interested ,  Also if you search the archives ,  Had 
been interested before all the wind flew out of the sails of this (IMO) 
Wonderful project .

 	My one difficulty at present is a ceiling on how much data I can 
transfer in or out of my data link .  With that I can and will do my best to 
test & report back my findings .

 	And would my efforts be of assistance given the affore mentioned items ?

 	To: Maciej ,

 	I have (as far as I am aware) all instances of linux-vax-*.rpm's .
 	my one concern is that there are MANY of simular name but lesser or 
different marked versioning .  Would you please either post a definitive list of 
the rpm's that are necessary for a running system ?
