Guys,
Does anybody know anyone over at EISNER? I?m trying to prove my identity, for some stupid reason I apparently accidentally registered two accounts and used an SSH public key to log into the one I use so I have no idea what the password is and EISNER is no longer accepting my SSH logins.

Afternoon all ...
Is there a VMS layered product repository available on HECNET ?
There was some discussion on c.o.v. about LSEDIT, and I'd to play around
with that. I emailed the OpenVMS Customer Lab about getting FTP access to
layered products as a hobbyist, but they say since OpenVMS 8.3 is EOL,
they won't provide the link. I did not think layered products were
version specific? I suppose I could upgrade my DS10 to a more recent
version, but that seems like a lot just to play with a layered product.

Hoff wrote most of those responses. He may have them on hit site and or a
link to where they've landed at HPE.com

I don't know about Multinet but under TCPIP Services, TELNET is REMOTE and
SSH is LOCAL. You can easily restrict accounts based upon that.

Hi all,
I was trying to search the "Ask the Wizard" archive, but HP seems to have screwed up the URL so that it points to HPE's OpenVMS info page, but can't find a link to the Wizard index.
Anyone know of a mirror for "Ask the Wizard" or a short cut url to the working old url or to a new HPE url?
Thanks in advance.

Hmm. My experience (of reading XXDP V2 disks with my own code) disagrees.
And the RSX doc says that FLX supports DOS-11 disks/DECtapes (in addition
to DOS-11 magtapes which are *much* easier), which are very similar to
XXDP+ format (so maybe FLX has tweaks for the slight differences?).

Yes it's in the manuals, and the (commented) source code to PUTR.COM
has some explanation too. I believe the DECtape and disk formats are
the same, except that the MFD1 is located at block 1 on disks and
block 64. (^O100) on DECtapes.
The DOS/BATCH disk format is also used by XXDP before V2. XXDP V2 has
its own similar (but different) format.

... copy/paste/transcription error on my part. The file clearly
says 2021. Copied sort of by hand from a .pdf file...

As I said, the text indicates that the (monitor) code stops working in
2021, but the code does in fact allow one more bit, no change needed here.
The thing to wonder about is a piece of (ehum) software called NML.
Written in the wonderful language BLISS. (sarcasm)

Time for some experimentation.
