Once you get the earlier commands correctly

Since you've renamed the file you're putting on the tape, the above VMS commands
will then be:
$ MOUNT/OVER=ID MUA0:
??? The above gives me a list of errors. The OS does not
like it at all
and IDK how to copy the errors to a file to post them. It wants
_BUC$MUA0: . Not MUA0: at all.

Notice the "sim> " prompt. Hopefully that

isn't a VMS command, but a simh command which could either
be entered manually or be part of your configuration file.

There are many ways to skin a cat. Some of these ways have
complicated steps and some have fewer.
The latest simh has support to simplify the import of licenses,
source code files and other data from the host system environment
using:
1) Extract the license files from the email you received
and save them somewhere in your local file system
(say Hobbyist-USE-ONLY-VA.TXT and Hobbyist-USE-ONLY-I64.TXT)
2) Start the VAX simulator and enter this command:
sim> ATTACH TQ -F ANSI-VMS Hobbyist-*
??? The command above Mark does not
seem to work on my VMS at all. I
can get it to accept this, att tq -F FIXED vmst? /* vmst is a rename of the
Hobbyist VA.TXT
license, tried the original name it didn't work either */
I don't know
where you got the source code you've compiled into
the simulator, and you've not show the output of:
sim> SHOW VERSION
The latest simh code is available at https://github.com/simh/simh
which is a git repository. If you want a zip download, that can be
had from https://github.com/simh/simh/archive/master.zip
3) Boot
VMS and login on the console and then execute the following
commands:
> $ MOUNT/OVER=ID MUA0:
> $ @MUA0:Hobbyist-USE-ONLY-VA.TXT $ @MUA0:VMST.
Note the trailing period will be required since it seems you renamed
the "Hobbyist-USE-ONLY-VA.TXT" file "vmst"
??? The OS request I mount the following name,
mount /over=id _BUC$MUA0:? /* That it takes but it doesn't work */
Ha I am stumped here. I can't remember what all the $ and : mean. And
the [] I think mean directory. The numbers after ; I remember are
version numbers and that's what purge is for.
Like, above where I prefixed
simulator commands with "sim> ", the
VMS commands are prefixed with "$ ". Both are the default prompts
from the respective environments.
