It did not seem to. Trust me, I did a lot of testing last night from PDXVAX.
Tried the open/nonotebook monk::test - worked!
Out of curiousity, I then tried to open an entry I had already added yesterday - that previously showed an error. Worked!
That was the result I had from PDXVAX, except I already had all of the notes conferences under my account there. I simply had to do the
open/nonotebook monk::test
and then everything worked, and the /nonotebook option was no longer needed. The one thing I don't know is what would have happened if I'd used that option when talking to "DEC Notes V2.5" prior to the upgrade.
I was able to successfully post into the TEST conference, although my node shows up as decimal, not the actualy node name ... :-/
How long has your node been online? I just updated the list of known nodes on MONK. How about trying again?

Fred,
Try this.

Good evening ...
Got NOTES installed.
However, after adding the couple of conferences I saw at the nodes listing on avanthar:8080/nodes ... (specifically MONK::VMS for starters) trying to open that conference reveals:

Looks like the owner of MONK doesn't have NOTES set up for "remote" or HECNet access. :(
Let me take a look at it, something must be wrong.
If anyone has any ideas on this, I'd love to hear them. I've been looking and have been unable to find anything. I had it working so you could read NOTES conferences from PDXVAX, but that gives the same error now. I am able to read them from MONK. I don't see any sign of any management manual either.
Of course I have no idea when this last worked...

Well, since MONK is a Compaq XP1000/667 I sure hope there is an Alpha version. :^)
Found individual packages from the freeware distribution (includes notes for Alpha and a field-test for Alpha and port to IA64.)

Downloading now, installing shortly. :)
I believe the IA64 version is due to the OpenVMS development team using Notes.
BTW, you can log into PDXVAX and use the Notes client on it. Last I checked no one has really made use of the Notes conferences on MONK other than to post a couple test messages.

If nothing else I have my own private install of NOTES now so I don't look like a total idiot when I'm posting on Encompasserve ... ;)
The kits from mvb.saic.com do work - I used notes026.a and had to run a "fix backup attributes" DCL routine to straighten out the file attributes, otherwise VMSINSTAL (actually BACKUP) barfed all over. Probably related to transfering it to my laptop first before FTP'ing it to MISER.
That's enough beating on the Alpha for one night. :) I really should consider figuring out a way to do an /IMAGE backup on this thing soon, too ...

I would love a copy of that as well.

Hi all ...
I noticed MONK:: has some notes conferences available. I'd like to browse them, but my Alpha is missing a NOTES kit. I downloaded a kit from an associate of mine, but my two problems are:
1. his Alpha is shut down at the moment
2. I downloaded the Japanese kit from his Alpha by accident
Could someone zip up a (English) notes kit for me and send it? I can also FTP or do a copy over HECNET if you give me a node::disk:[dir] combo ... :)
Cheers,
Fred
