I think I've managed to hunt this down.
I'll show you how I got there, because it's a useful path.
I first went to Martin's ConDist CD list:
http://de.openvms.org/martinv/VMS_CD_KITS.html
and looked for "PCSA" and found two 041 releases. These are on the CDBIN04SEP2
and CDBIN10NOV2 distributions respectively.
I then went searching for these two distributions and got a hit on an archived HECnet
post on hecnet.eu from 2013 by Mark Wickens.
It says the CDBIN10NOV2 is available on SLAVE:: (which appears not to be online), but
also gives an http link to the associated archive.
http://hecnet.eu/archive/VAX_MEDIA/1992_nov_cdbin10nov2/
and so I searched through the directories and found:
http://hecnet.eu/archive/VAX_MEDIA/1992_nov_cdbin10nov2/cdbin10nov27/pcsa04…
http://hecnet.eu/archive/VAX_MEDIA/1992_nov_cdbin10nov2/cdbin10nov27/pcsau1…
I hope that's what you were looking for :-)
Cheers, Wiz!!
Awesome, Wiz! Thank you.
