No rush, but I would appreciate it when you have the opportunity. I have a MicroVAX with 5.4 on it that I'd like to make more 'original'.

Hello all,
Does anyone have an original copy of ANNOUNCE.TXT from VMS/VAX V5.4 ?
I do but I can't currently access it. It'll be a few days until I can. If there's a rush I could always go install a copy.

Hello!
Well your next door neighbors are completely out of their pets and
even their cars.
This does not explain why your network connection is now belonging to them.....

BTW - This procedure gets around all the issues that Johnny's procedure
may be running into. It does the right thing for all VMS systems. It
also skips the current area so that local databases that are
cluster-based will not get clobbered. This can be a problem if DECnet
is used for cluster communications. It does not have to be regenerated
each time a database update occurs. The data file it uses is
regenerated automatically by Johnny's procedures. That's the reason for
the file in the first place.

Steve,
Edumacation question. There are a number of places in
NU2.COM where it uses the switch /end_fo_file= [sic]
Unless I'm missing something "meta" about how this thing
works, and assuming it _does_ work, that succeeds in spite of
the typo because...
...DCL only looks at the first 4?

CHIMPY offers accounts, but no guest account per se.

Once upon a time, when I wanted to play with HECnet or check something, I used
to telnet and login into a VMS node called MAISA, and from there I was able to
access the whole HECnet. Now MAISA seems long gone and today I remembered that
I can directly telnet to MIM, and so I did. But now I'm wondering wether is
somewhere available a publicly accessible list of telnetable HECnet nodes
offering guest access to the network... Is there something of that sort? :)
Thanks!
