VMS Hobby Licence to morph into Community Licence

and it runs on Intel chips now (but I always thought this was never possible because the x86 architecture lacked a vital lock instruction needed for clustering ???).

Odd, I tried to post this twice and got an error saying I "could access the server, check settings".

"Could not Access server ..." and still getting the strange error

"Could not Access server ..." and still getting the strange error

five times now :-)

So one of the reasons the server isn't quite itself today, is because it isn't quite itself today. [Helsinki, Finland]

Both you and jimbo are posting dupes, so likely the server is f***ed.

Huh? Its been working fine here. Brian

Ooh - just applied.

Last used VAX/VMS 1986-90 - this will be very interesting!

I used it extensively, mostly Fortran scientific applications. I can still remember most of the commands . I had macros to do the compiling and linking to the Libraries - viz Ghost and NAG and assigning input and output I'm tempted, but can't think of a valid use to put down other than nostalgia.

I've a VAX emulator but it doesn't do a lot .

Brian

I managed a VAXcluster for several years (and wroite drivers, etc.)

I have the emulator but also three VAXes. It is possible to generate perpetual licences if you know where to look (VAX licences are no longer available).
