Booted test Alpha system running OpenVMS 8.4 and set the date to 27-DEC-2022. Started
DECnet Phase IV. No errors.
From node APOLLO, no problem transferring files from
the test system and displaying network info (TELL ... SHOW EXEC, etc.).
Snippet from test system NML$SERVER.LOG:
--------------------------------------------------------
Connect request received at 27-DEC-2022 16:29:25.54
from remote process APOLLO::"0=JASON"
for object "SYS$COMMON:[SYSEXE]NML.EXE"

Snippet from test system FAL$SERVER.LOG:

Connect request received at 27-DEC-2022 16:26:56.85

Is the above satisfactory, at least for OpenVMS Alpha?
Regards,
Jason

Oh, that's a much bigger deal! Do you happen to know if VMS handles this field as
unsigned?? A lot of people here are going to be bummed if VMS quits working next fall...
