> [...] I was trying the GPG.EXE in Alphal directory, but the GPG in > Alphas runs fine. As usual, that tells me approximately nothing about what you actually did, or anything about your MMS problems, but if you're happy, then I'm happy, I suppose. (Does it feel as if you've just won the lottery?) It's been so long since V7.3 on Alpha, that I don't remember if you needed a CRTL ECO to make the large-file stuff work right. A Web search suggests that VMS73_ACRTL-V0200 may be required. [...] 5 PROBLEMS ADDRESSED IN KIT VMS73_ACRTL-V0200 o Large file support for I/O functions [...] As the "_vms" kit contents might suggest, I'd still build GnuPG with large-file support if I had the prereq's, but it's up to you. If "MMS CLEAN" doesn't work with your (still unidentified) MMS, then I'd try MMK, or else just manually delete the stuff in the appropriate product directories, such as [...ALPHAL]. Because the large- and small-file objects and executables are kept in different directories, you should be able to build either without bothering the other. > Thanks for all your help. Sure, but if you have any other problems to report, please try to include the normal, basic info, such as: What you did, What happened wnen you did it, Which version of what you were using to do it. And, as ever, showing actual commands with their actual output can be more helpful than vague descriptions or interpretations.
