Dear Newsgroup,
I sent the following to my email intrest lists last week but wanted to
make sure you that you saw it as well. Friday was my last day in the
office for awhile (unless the surgery gets changed again at the last
minute).
The zip file was a screen shot.
Warm Regards,
Sue

From DECUS Germany
Germany
this configuration is "extremely unsupported" by HP - but it works like
a charm. Just another example of the excellent
quality of this operating system and the superb job done by the OpenVMS
engineers.
Shortly before the German "HP User Group IT Symposium" (aka DECUS)
taking place in Duesseldorf in May, the idea of "bring your hardware,
we set up a cluster" was born in the OpenVMS SIG (special interest
group). Despite the short notice, several hardware generations spanning
approximately 20 years (from a VAXserver 2000 to an rx2600) were
present at the symposium and integrated into a cluster mostly built up
from scratch.
Please find attached (see zip file) a SHOW CLUSTER screenshot (in both
text and graphics format) of the cluster in its final configuration.
Hardware is mostly what is announced in the "hw_type" column, with a
few noticeable exceptions: the "DEC AXPpci166 MT" named MULTIA is what
the nodename says :-) the
"MicroVAX 3100-96" named CHAVAX is a CHARON-VAX/XM (SRI) the "DEC 3000
Model 400" named CHAAXP is a "Personal Alpha" (SRI)
The two emulators from SRI (http://www.softresint.com) were running on
Windows XP notebooks.

Did you know that you can have web based VMS mail, which means no
virus, worms or other nasties with the benefits of another type of
email in popular use - visit www.trysecureserver.com and request a demo
account its very cool.

Computerworld Honors picks the best advanced technologies
June 06, 2006 (Computerworld) -- WASHINGTON -- The Computerworld Honors
awards program last night focused attention on some of the world's most
advanced technologies, including an IT project managed by David Milne,
the director of database technologies at Chicago Stock Exchange Inc.,
who is running a database grid on servers that use a discontinued
processor technology, the Alpha chip. Some of the Alpha Servers have
even been bought used, he said.
The stock exchange received an achievement award in the finance,
insurance and real estate category for its use of an Oracle Corp.
database in a grid. The grid is running on clustered Alpha Servers from
Hewlett-Packard Co., delivering high service levels at a reasonable
cost and sparing the need for a dedicated system for the grid. And
Milne said that when he needs more compute power, he can go out and buy
"what was at one point Cadillac technology at a commodity price

OpenVMS now has Artistic Style
Thursday June 08 2006 @ 05:05AM EDT
Artistic Style is a source code indenter, formatter, and beautifier for
the C, C++, C# and Java programming languages, and has been ported to
OpenVMS by Jim Duff.
The current version is V1.17 and the ported version is available on
Jim's web site as zip files containing the modified source, the
objects, and executables for 7.3-2 and 8.2 Alpha.

Subject: BTW - Regarding Education Programs and Computer Clubs
Hi Sue,
I recently helped the Ctrl-C Computer Club at Linköping University to
upgrade their OpenVMS-systems from 7.3-2 to 8.2. They also upgraded an AlphaServer 8200 to an 8400. They have a second one to start up as soon as we can figure out what is currently wrong with it... That must be one of the more powerful non-comercial Alpha-cluster on the net once that is completed.
If you have an ssh-capable client (PuTTY for example) you can login to
it
with:
guest@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
In a week or two I hope to be able to help them enable a few
other features and upgrade some of the other components.
Hopefully they will have some more activity after this
upgrade, like adding some Photo-gallery functions to the
webserver, etc. etc... ;-)
Cheers,
/Robert Nydahl
