<br>
My questions are so basic that there must be a FAQ
someplace that would answer them. But I can't find one.<br>
<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:
LICENSE.COM. But all kinds of unprintable characters are
inserted into LICENSE.COM so that the COM file can't be
executed. Obviously the wrong thing to do. Suggestions?<br>

The most probable reason is that the console interface (OPA0:) of
the VAX is overwhelmed by the incoming stream of characters PASTEd
from your desktop. The VAX console is not ready to process a great
incoming load. I'd suggest you to paste JUST the basic license you
need (that being the openVMS license) and then set up a DZ11 or DH11
in simh attached to a telnet port and do the rest of pasting using
that terminal (TX: or TT:). <br>

<td style="font: inherit;" valign="top">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>

If I recall it correctly HP TCPIP (or compaq TCPIP) installs from a
PCSI file... I have not installed an openVMS system for quite a
time, but I guess you have to locate the directory where the product
resides and do a PRODUCT INSTALL from there...<br>

And that question leads to DECNet. Does DECNet provide an
easier way of getting data in and out of VAX?<br>

The "easier" way would be to enable the FTP server and use any plain
FTP client. DECNET is "easier" if the rest of your machines speak
also DECNET, but this is not usually the case<br>

You will probably need to be able to see the simulated machine from
your host environment to run X clients on your desktop. I wrote a
little article about simh network setup that could be useful for
you:<br>
