So, we surely HAVE come a long way baby with VMS RMS! Still, any stream format is a ridiculously lame way to differentiate records IMHO. >Had you been pulling it from Linux to RSX, and initiated to transfer >from the RSX side, you can tell NFT exactly what format you want for the >file on the local side, when the remote side is a stream format file. >Not sure Linux can do that if you do the transfer from the Linux side. > >My next suggestion is to read up on RMSCNV, on how to convert the file. >I can never remember exactly how to use it, so I have to read every time >I want to, but it can convert the file to another format for you. I can't comment there either; however, if VMS CONVERT help is needed, I'm available.

PDP-11 Pascal or Modula-2?

by bob＠jfcl.com

Does anyone have the sources (I need the sources, not just binaries) for either the PDP-11 Pascal or Modula-2 compilers? It's probably on some DECUS tape somewhere, but I'm hoping someone can save me the trouble of searching. BTW, I have the sources (and working binaries) for the VAX/VMS Modula-2 compiler if anybody wants it. The VAX version was adapted from the PDP-11 version, and I'd like to find the original if I can. Thanks, Bob
