That would explain it.
Still, there should be more than an .A saveset.

It's SIMH. Ooops. Didn't realise I wasn't clear that it was virtual.
OK. Somewhere there was mention of VAX-11/780... I know the real H/W. I

That doesn't look like any VMS distro file I'm familiar with.
I'm not quite sure which tape image to use for this. ;)

That's the angry monkey from Family Guy. The host machine is a
PersonalAlpha running on Win2K3 server, with MULTINET.
I have to say that when XDM works on HP TCP/IP, it's a LOT more stable.
