Assuming you follow the installation guide and that there's no version 
skew, any version of TOPS-10 that supports DECnet should build and run 
out of the box.

If you provide the specific version & tape images, commands used and all 
output, we can advise.

Do note that if you are using any unsupported/customer supported modules 
(e.g. the DMR driver), they need to be obtained from the 'customer 
supported' tape/directory and added to the build files.

This communication may not represent my employer's views,
if any, on the matters discussed.
