I have a license for openvms and an old openvms file.
It's been so long
I can't remember how to get the license into the simulator and simulated
OS and apply it. If I can figure out how to do that I will try to get a
C compiler and some TCP/IP things into the VMS.
??? Does anyone know where I can get some help loading the license. I
seem to remember creating a ISO filewith the license in it and changing
some attribs in VMS.
You'll need to install the VAX-VMS and DVNETEND PAKs to get it talking
via DECnet, then any other license PAKs can be transferred. Just typing
in those two PAKs is easy.
You can copy/paste them from the terminal, but if you try it all at
once you'll hit a buffer overflow. To address that, edit
SYS$SYSTEM:MODPARAMS.DAT and add the following lines:
MIN_TTY_TYPAHDSZ=4096
MIN_TTY_ALTYPAHD=4096
...then do:
$ SET DEFAULT SYS$UPDATE
$ @AUTOGEN GETDATA REBOOT NOFEEDBACK
After the system comes back up, log in again, then you can paste in
much larger chunks without issues.
