Re: Name that VAX/VMS version based on banner

While rummaging in my storage area I found a VAX/VMS printout of the
prime numbers between 1 and a million and a second printout for those
between 1000000 and 2000000. Here is what the top banner says:

VAX/VMS <username> PTEXT 23-SEP-1981 17:56 LPA0: 23-SEP-1981
17:56 _DRA0:[PRIME]PTEXT.DAT;1 VAX/VMS

This is followed by the username in 7-character-tall letters, then the
filename and type in 14-character-tall letters over two lines

PTEXT.
DAT;1

followed by the username in 7-character-tall letters followed by the
same as the top banner.

Frankly, I have no idea what the answer is.

Anyone have any ideas what version of VAX/VMS these printouts are
from?

I'd say it would have been about the VMS 2.3 to VMS 2.5 timeframe.
The lineprinter output format stayed pretty much the same for a long
time after that.

    ... It's going to be a baptismal banner, and I had already started a banner to hang in a specific place - sort of an odd size/shape, over a door. ... A year and a half later, we got new pastors who decided they want a big baptismal banner that we can put names on to accumulate during the year, and each year at All Saints Day start afresh ... I bought some beautiful gold silk fabric for the side panels, on either side of the blue, and on those I will sew clear plastic "pockets" into which can be inserted business-card size name cards as baptisms occur. ... The font I used (~4" letters) is a contemporary font in a traditional style, in that the shapes of the letters are pretty traditional Times New Roman-ish, but the heavy strokes have "hollow" centers on some of the characters, so I'll fill in those strokes with royal blue silk to match the center panel. ...
