Since HP has abandonned new developpement of VAX, and since it no longer
sells new VAXen, making VAX kits publically available for download would
not hurt HP revenus in one bit.
HP employees have often said that VAX customers are not interested in
upgrading. So if they haven't upgraded to 7.3 by now, they aren't going
to upgrade to 7.3 ever. Hence no loss of revenu at all.
Heck. HP could just seed some BitTorrent site with the VAX distribution.
Oh, I forgot, there is no Bittorrent client for VMS.
Link, please?
I don't use BitTorrent on any platform.
But I know that BitTorrent clients in Java exist.
They should run on VMS (assuming you have Java).
