I ended up loosing my bookmarks. One of them was for the US based offices for the users group for VMS. As I recall and en examination of the form used to create the licensing string for VMS it requires that name. It also needs the member number from the group. I recall creating one for a kit that Sampsa has someplace last year, but I never managed to launch the Alpha emulator on any of the approved operating systems for it. Now I'm ready to try again with the VMS kit I have here someplace (it presupposes that I can find it, but I do know that the image can be downloaded...) and running on the SIMH Vax setup using the instructions on the site that the SIMH one is linked to. ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8 at gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again." .
