It would be interesting to see if anyone can at least find binaries for the TSS DECnet
product, if TSS would be willing to make a hobbyist license available, it would be cool to
play with. From a practical standpoint, it has no commercial value at this point, since
it?s pre-MacOSX.
It would be nice, and I think they would be willing to do so, if the packages could be
found.
Just to add, their product was highly portable - they did releases for UNIX systems
(SunOS, AIX, etc.) and other ports as well, such as AmigaOS.
Oddly enough, I want to say that I bought a license
for DAVE from them, for the purpose of accessing a Samba Share on VMS. At least that?s
the only reason I can think of, at this point, why I?d have purchased a copy. :-)
I seem to recall that DAVE was once a popular product - or at least highly advertised.
