Hi Peter! I thought things seemed a bit snappier when I did a few
things yesterday, but I didn't take any measurements, and figured it was
just a low-traffic period. Why do you ask?

I am nothing short of astonished that it was that cheap!

How old are these "listings"?

and how much they would cost? A figure with too many zeroes, right? :/
For a currently-developed high-end OS for high-end hardware in the
application space in which VMS is typically used, yes, lots of zeros.

I think I remember that believe Bob got one of the much older (Vax)
versions sprung free with a hobbyist license on a CD. It was not clear
how useful/complete it was, since it lacked the build environment.
In the early days, VMS source was shipped on 9-track tape with VMS. I
remember perusing the contents when I worked at my Uncle Sam's US Navy
Automated Test Program Generation and Automated Test Equipment Division
at Lakehurst NAEC... Today, however, only the listings are provided and
they are sanitized to elide some IP and things like the LMF.
Current sources are still protected HP IP
Correct.

Well I speak to machines with the voice of humanity.
These URL were being passed along on one of the Alumni lists and I though this group might find them entraining. My memory is these were made in the last 1970s/early 1980s.
Each is a few minutes long. The first to are for removing bad blocks, the later is a breakfast cereal.

A few days ago a "TELL 1.13 SHOW KNOWN NODES" from 42.42 BET:: was very slow. It's probably 4 times faster now. I don't know if I'm passing through your part of the net to get to Johnny.

Sorry for this somewhat off topic message, but I've seen that from time
= to time some chit-chat is allowed...
I've always wondered about VMS sources: how they are actually
distributed today and how much space they take? Is a CD-ROM enough for
everything? = And in which format are they? Just simple text files in a
bunch of directories = or there is something fancier such as some cross
references and indexes?
They are referred to as the OpenVMS LISTING because that's what they are;
the listings from the various assembler, compiler and utilities which are
used to build VMS.
But the main question is: where can they be obtained? Is HP still
selling= them and how much they would cost? A figure with too many
zeroes, right? :/
You need to first sign and pay for a source listings license agreement.

that must be paid yearly to get the listings CDs/DVDs when produced.
Depending upon what you do with VMS, these listings are invaluable.
