I know very little about VMS, but I found this to be a great guide:<div><br></div><div><a href="http://kuhl-us.com/gadgets/retrocomputing/vax-simh.html">http://kuhl-us.com/gadgets/retrocomputing/vax-simh.html</a></div><div>

<br>To get started. I have managed to get the <span><span><span>SimH</span></span></span> VAX simulator running on Linux (Ubuntu 11.04). I am totally impressed and offer my thanks to the team that did the good work.<br>
<br>Now I'm attempting to import Licenses from Ubuntu. I "select all" and "cut" from gedit and then "paste" into the GNOME terminal where I have started COPY TT: <a href="http://LICENSE.COM" target="_blank">LICENSE.COM</a>. But all kinds of unprintable characters are inserted into <a href="http://LICENSE.COM" target="_blank">LICENSE.COM</a> so that the COM file can't be executed. Obviously the wrong thing to do. Suggestions?<br>
<br>My second question is a bit more general. After I get the licenses loaded I want to install TCP/IP .. it's part of the .iso file I got from
HP. But how do I set up SimH? I've Googled a lot and there seems to be several approaches that have been developed over the years. I can't figure out what's current. Primarily I'm looking for a way to get data into VAX, COMs, ZIPs and EXEs. I'd forgotten that VMS takes a lot of customizing to run smoothly.<br>
<br>And that question leads to DECNet. Does DECNet provide an easier way of getting data in and out of VAX?<br><br>Someday I'd like to see how Motif works, but that is future excitement. I've seen very little comments on the net.<br>
<br>Thanks, David.<br></td></tr></tbody></table><br>_______________________________________________<br>
