Johnny, Are you looking for the cross compiler (BLISS-16C) that ran on VAX (VMS) generating code for the 11's, or are you looking for the compiler that ran directly on the 11's (uBLISS AKA microBLISS)? BLISS-16C while hard to find may be available, the other one I have only seen (and used) once in the 80's while at DEC and don't expect it to be available anywhere. I will check to see if I have a copy of either, but it may take a while! I'm not sure what condition the tapes I have are in - it has been decades since they were last accessed. -Steve -----Original Message----- From: owner-hecnet at Update.UU.SE [mailto:owner-hecnet at Update.UU.SE] On Behalf Of Johnny Billquist Sent: Sunday, October 09, 2011 22:09 To: hecnet at Update.UU.SE Subject: [HECnet] BLISS-16? Do anyone have BLISS-16 for VMS? I guess it might be bundled with BLISS-32, but I don't know. I would like to test it some, and I have a VAX box running VMS, but my distribution CDs are far away, and I don't know if I have BLISS in there, but I thought I'd start by asking here before I try to get access to CDs 2000 km away...

Johnny Or indeed, the HECnet way, slave::[media.decus-1.freewarev80.bliss] Otherwise http://hecnet.eu/archive/DECUS-1/FREEWAREV80/BLISS/ That's got to be nicer ;) Thanks both of you. However, it appears that the BLISS that is on the Freeware CD is only BLISS-32, and it don't seem to include BLISS-16, atleast from reading the documentation. Anyone have the full set of the VMS distribution with all languages and tools, so that we can check there? (And yes, somewhere on HECnet is nicer... :-) ) Johnny

Superdome anyone?

by uusimaki＠exdecfinland.org

Yes, it is possible to replace PA-RISC cells with Itanium cells, but as the architecture isn't very recent, you cannot use very recent cells (or CPUs). The version with PA8800/8900 CPUs can be upgraded to a version with up to 1.6GHz Itanium CPU's.
