I thought the machine's sole purpose was for traveling.
Well it IS quite well-traveled.
Actually Dave that's the machine that the Yetis are using to bring
down China, its been up for the past eighteen months. Oh and please
stop staring at those four vans and one Bentley? That's what they use
for transport, the Bentley belongs to their supporter.
I need the Bentley today, I've gotta go get groceries!

write the bits to get it working there.
Ethan Dicks ported the Z-machine emulator to RSTS/E two years ago at
VCF-East, on my PDP-11/70. I don't know if the code is anywhere but on
that 11/70's disk packs, but it's safe and sound here. I will be
bringing that machine up more often toward the winter.
It would be nice to include that in the distribution then...
Can you dig it out, and we can talk with Ethan.
It will be awhile, but yes, I will dig it out.

I have a VT501 but no keyboard for that (LK201 has the wrong plug). Do you have something compatible?
Did you mean a VT510 Paul?
I assume you know that a normal PC keyboard with a PS/2 connector works? You don't get all the right keys, but at least you can use it.
Oops, yes, I meant VT510, bad memory.
It takes a mini-DIN connector keyboard. As for "normal PC keyboard" -- I hadn't thought of that. I'll give that a try, assuming I still have such keyboards.
Yes. The mini-DIN is the PS/2 connector. If you attach a PC keyboard the terminal recognize that, and use a slightly different layout in order for you to get all functionality anyway. Look in the manuals, and you'll see how the keyboard is laid out.

As long as you can get to the stream before macterm do, sure. Reading through all the blurb on that page actually never suggest that anything like that is possible, but it might be. I just couldn't find it.
Yeah the docs were a tad confusing, but I think most of it is actually built on Python so I might be able to catch the stream before passing it along..
That reminds me: Are there any VMS apps that actually USE ReGIS or SIXEL graphics? I'm toying with building some fake police database with SIXEL images of the perps in COBOL :)
I know that I have definitely worked with VMS tools in the past that did. There was some kind of tool to draw graphs and similar stuff that I used when I worked at DEC in the 80s. DECgraph maybe? Anyway, used that on a VT241. And it used ReGIS. I'm sure there are more examples around. Finding any of that stuff today is a different matter.

Back to the original question though, does anyone know where the DECUS =
UUCP VAX binaries might be?
Google: "site:DECUSlib.com UUCP"
I have 100GB+ of the DECUS library and the OpenVMS Freeware on-line there.
Some sundry other bits too.

I think the DECUS UUCP had some changes that made it work in a VMS way..
IIRC, it did. But it's been a long time since I messed with those bits. I hope you find the binaries - did you look on DECUSlib.com?
The important thing that I >>thought<< DECUS did was hook into MAIL-11.
BTW: the BBN "Phone-Net" stuff for CS-NET had similar but different functionality. That ran on VMS and PDP-10's (was written in Pascal IIRC) but used called into the native MTA (I think). It also had something called PDMF which replaced the MTA

A C compiler, but I have not tried it (nor needed UUCP) in years.
