I can usually be standing near the Guillotine Gate in less than two

few walls and halls and partitions have changed over the years.) Building

There are hardware configuration details (still) missing.

Copying the files onto or via a Microsoft Windows or Unix or Linux box
can mess up the OpenVMS file attributes, particularly if you're not using
the correct tools and the right command options. Just last week, I was
cleaning up a similarly-triggered corruption in a source archive someone
had (mis)created. It's generally better and safer and easier to use
OpenVMS tools to preserve OpenVMS files.

If you wish assistance, send me mail and we can discuss this off-line --
and as I stated, I can be in Maynard in a couple of hours. I can also
bring along additional I/O hardware and media, if and as needed for the
safe-keeping of the data for the transfer of the system to its
destination.


Hoff. Please pass along all our best wishes to Ken Olsen.
