Is LAT supported on VMS 3.5 at all? If so, is it supported without =
the =3D
DECnet license? (I don't have a license kit for 3.x)

LAT is _NOT_ part of DECnet. LAT can be run without DECnet installed =
or
running. IIRC, LAT was licensed with VMS.
Ah. So I just need to find the filename to start it then. ;)
It's changed since V3x days. Look for
LTLOAD.COM in SYS$MANAGER.
The new names are LAT$STARTUP and LAT$SYSTARTUP but I think you'll
find
LTLOAD.COM is the place to begin.
Hmmm. There is no LATCP.EXE,
LAT$STARTUP.COM, or
LTLOAD.COM it would
appear. Was it an add-on kit for VMS 3.5 or did I miss something rather
important? ;)
Though I lived it, recalling this history is not one of my strong points.
LAT showed up in VMS circa 1984/1985 time frame from my recollection. I
think you will need a newer version of VMS if you want LAT. Look around
for V4.7 (pre-SMP/V5.0) or later VMS. They should have LAT and DECnet IV.
I'm trying to recall, but I might be wrong. But I thought I was atleast
using LAT with VMS V3.7 at the time. (I don't think I ever used any VMS
before that.) That should be somewhere around 1984.
Recollection of V37 and V4.7 (key releases) always confuses me. However,
you may be right. A timeline that HP has on its site begins with V4.0. I
don't see any mention of LAT in the timeline until much later though but I
am pretty sure that is was available before the date mentioned in said time-
line.
I do still have my Orange Wall and Gray Wall but the Blue Wall was damaged
in a basement flood, so I don't have that documentation to reference.
