Hi Ray,
You didn?t include everything you did to get this far, so I ask the following:
1) How did you get the Hobbyist-USE-ONLY-VA.TXT file on to the host system from
whatever email you may have received?
2) Were you able to edit the Hobbyist-USE-ONLY-VA.TXT file on the host system as a
normal file before you attached it with the ?ATTACH TQ -F ANSI-VMS
Hobbyist-USE-ONLY-VA.TXT? command?
3) What is produced under VMS if you enter:
$ DIR MUA0:/FULL

I got everything hooked up but this is what it does when I run the script:
$ @mua0:Hobbyist-USE-ONLY-VA.TXT
%DCL-E-INVIFNEST, invalid IF-THEN-ELSE nesting structure or data inconsistency
%DCL-E-INVIFNEST, invalid IF-THEN-ELSE nesting structure or data inconsistency
These PAKs are for VAX / Alpha Servers only.
The cutting and pasting method is working with this file though.
Thanks
Ray

Hi Bill,
I have no idea what you are actually typing, but this is a session I
just did on my Android phone (Linux):
Note that the -v switch for tape attaches gets it to be verbose about
what is going on under the covers.
...
Tape Image made from 'sim*' scanned as ANSI-VMS
format.
contains 2181744 bytes of tape data (1245 record
s, 94 tapemarks)
Humm. I saw something like this. Do you need the exact word? Sure no
problem. But it was something like this, "scanned as simh file (or
format). contains 0 bytes of tape data 0 records 0 tapemarks. " And no
tape available.
Does that help? I can dig it right up, If I can remember how to do it,
lol. And I will.
