[rescue] OpenVMS again

[William Barnett-Lewis]

I have the hobbyist distro and a few other misc. goodies that I've
scrounged (C++, Oracle RDB, Decwrite). If you'd like, I'll burn a copy
for you. Then all you need is to get the license PAKs from
http://www.montagar.com/hobbyist/

If you really want the whole shebang, watch on ebay. I just won a copy
of the June 1997 Software Product Library, which is 20 CD's with
everything DEC sold at that time. I won that auction for $50US. I'm sure
other opportunities will come up. 

Compaq wants something like a $1000 for the _media_. Then you  pay for
the license PAKs that you need. Really unless you have a real need to do
something for commercial purposes, the hobbyist program is a much better
option. 

Now all _I_ need to find is someone who will sell me a freaking DEC Lisp
PAK. But nobody at Compaq has a clue about discontinued DEC software.
