By the way, I hope you know that the BP2 V2.7 tape on trailing-edge is

Ok, that makes sense, thanks for the pointer. I will look that up and

While you're there, do you have a suggestion for the "path of least
resistance" to install F77 and BP2 on this machine? I have the
trailing-edge dists as .tpc files.
It will be hard to use the TPC files directly. Easiest is if you have
some emulator around on which you can mount those tape images.
Inside RSX there is a tool and subsystem called VCP and VF:, which you
use to handle virtual tapes which maps to files on a disk. Use that to
copy the "physical" tape to a virtual tape inside RSX, and then you can
move that file around between systems using DECnet or TCP/IP. Any
idea of why I might get "access control rejected" when
trying to
get a directory of MIM::US:[FTP] from RSX, but not from VMS? I
probably
have something incorrectly configured in nft.
My guess would be that you have not enabled proxy on your RSX system,
but have on VMS.
Since RSX do not have a default DECnet account like VMS do, I instead
have a general proxy setup where anyone unknown will be proxyed as
guest, but it does require that the connection request to MIM have
outgoing proxy enabled.
