you are a busy person with this :-)
You may be able to get the lasted version to the collector of freeware at hp if you are quick.

Yes, Ian, I already submitted this version to Hunter Goatley and HP Freeware CD.

And now about "busy person with this".

Yes, I not a young man (born in 1952) and I started work on Digital hardware and software in 1978 (PDP-11/70 with IAS and later RSX-11M). I have 20+ years work experience on OpenVMS: software and database development (C, BASIC, ACMS, RDB, RALLY, TDMS, DATATRIEVE, TPU...) and system management (last job in SWIFT department of Savings Bank of the Russian Federation). But now in Russia OpenVMS
exists in very small quantity of organizations and I w/o job because of older than 40 (???!!!). But I hope that I may develop useful software (unfortunately only for OpenVMS). For this I use OpenVMS v7.3 under SIMH v3.2-3 under WindowsXP Pro SP1.

Best regards,
Vladimir Vershinin,

Good luck in finding a new job - and don't forget to upgrade to XP SP2.

I have a HP notebook and followed their instructions to upgrade some software components before putting SP2 on the box. It went pretty smooth.

Hi Vladimir,
doesn't exist a market-place to porting vms by Itanium?
New Itanium Pricing is very aggressive!

Hi, Uwe!

Thank you for your desire about new job. But after 1 year of job search I realized that I have no any chance because of my age and because of the younger generation in Russia knows only Windows and various *nix. And they hear only the West. It is possible that I is one of the last software developers for serious OSes in the Russia. Because of the above I decided to develop some useful (I hope) software for OpenVMS promotion in the world and, hence, in the Russia. It's my choice.

Uwe, I returned to SP1 after SP2 because of incompatibility with Kaspersky Anti-Hacker program (see http://www.kaspersky.com ).

Hi, Antonio!

Your question: "Doesn't exist a market-place to porting vms by Itanium?" (in Russia). My answer: "Of course, but years later". Why? See my answer to Uwe.

Sincerely,
Vladimir Vershinin

P.S. My regards to King Ian Miller. King of... what?

Vladimir,
king of what? - I have no idea.

Parhaps you know these people http://www.starlet.spb.ru/

Vladimir,

I am glad to see that you have changed the ^P function key as I suggested in yours previous thread. Once I see what hapens, when a programer which knows only a little of system management, typed a ^P on a console. When he see the SRM prompt >>>, the only command which comes him in mind was B. You know what was the consequences.

Ian is the current king of ITRC OpenVMS forums ;-)

(a rightly earned honor, if I am allowed to say)

Re: VTfm - new release 2.2-9: speed up Copy operation.

Antoniov. — Mon, 08 Nov 2004 11:55:26 GMT

Ian is also king of ITRC forum. You can see his crown near every his answer.
So he is ITRC king, vms king and beer king too (his knowledge is very wide) :-)

Hi, Ian!

First, when I go to http://www.starlet.spb.ru I see only one man - Ruslan R. Laishev. No more people. Personal's Areas: about sport, medicine, single combat). Utilities: only 4 links (no Russian projects). The summary: very poor contents. Perhaps I really the last OpenVMS developer in the Russia.

Second, you say "I'm just a vms fanatic who is trying to be helpful because its fun, educational for me, and perhaps encourage people towards the worlds best operating system." Excellent! It means that our goals are the same. But then what is a purport of your first reply?

Regards,
Vladimir Vershinin

Re " king of what? - I have no idea."
I thought the title of this thread
http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=732130
was slightly embarrising especially since Martin and Uwe already have well deserved crowns.

Still, has I have said, I'm at the top due to my level of activity not my level of knowledge. I learn things here every day.

Re the pointer to Ruslan R. Laishev site - its the only other vms related site I know of in Russia. See also
