Sampsa,
Which version of PathWorks are you running on WinNT 4.0? I may have it
here. I have V4.1 PathWorks for Windows NT.

Hello!
Yes indeed do it. Especially since the simian who's running it for
Sampsa needs the work. (Hint: The name comes from a series of movies
that a former US President who was a reasonably good character actor
made.)
As it happens that sounds like fun, what else is it talking to and
what else did you do to bring it up?

I have a bunch of older VMS distributions. I don't know
if they're
available anywhere else or not; I would assume so but am
not sure.
At least several 3.x and 4.x distributions, going back to
3.0. Let
me know if they're wanted and I can put them up somewhere.
I'd say 4.7 for speed and period-correctness, 5.5 for
featurefulness.
The last release of VMS to run on an 11/780 was, I believe, v6.2.
V7.3 should run on it.
Really? I seem to recall reading several places that 6.2/6.3
were the last to run on an -11/780.

What will run and what is supported can be two entirely different

It's a dog that I love, and that particular one did an
awful lot of real work at my former employer's facility.
Running 4.7, it'd support a dozen scientists logged in all
day long running simulations in FORTRAN.
That was one of the most dependable computers I've ever
been exposed to. I took good care of it, but it took good
care of me too.
4.7 probably ran ok on that system.
It did.
5.x not so much.
Yup.
My office machine was a MicroVAX-II/GPX (dual head) with
16 megs of memory. I still have that machine - I was able
to take it
home when I left DEC. The 3600's ran just fine.
Both the UVAX-II and 3600 class machines ran fine standalone or, as
part of a cluster.
Very nice!
I've run many a MicroVAX over a lotta years, and until this
moment I considered myself to know just about everything
about them...but...Dual-head?! How? Both a VCB01 and a
VCB02 maybe? Or can you move a VCB02 to a different CSR and
tell DECwindows to find it? Do tell!

Dual VCB02's with HUGH (and HEAVY monitors) and DECwindows-Motif. The
magic is in the configuration of DECwindows and the HW of course.
The system is running NetBSD 1.5 (headless) at the moment. I use it to
copy the virtual PDP-11/23+ (PLUTO::) to the physical drive for the
physical PDP-11/23+. Both environments use RD54's for their system
disks. You would be hard-pressed to know which environment is running -
they are almost identical in configuration and performance. It took
quite a while to find a HW and SW configuration to mimic the 11/23+, but
I think it was worth it.

But oohhhhh soooo painfully slow compared to v4.7. You wouldn't
believe the complaints I endured from my users on Monday after spending
all weekend doing an upgrade to 5.0. They loved me before that!
??? Slower? V50 introduced the modular exec.
Personally, I'd get up V6.1. Many improvements on the many look-aside
list algorithms.
