Disk Management Utility

Markus Waldorf_1 — Mon, 26 Sep 2005 16:38:26 GMT

Hello,

Back 10 years ago I experimented with Disk/File Management utilities like CSwing, DM, etc. Are these utilties still available and working in 7.3? And were could I download them please. Or are there other similar and good utilities available for VT emulation. I checked the Freeware V6 and V7, but did not find something.

Best regards,

Markus Waldorf

Repeat after me, "google is my friend".

Google Cswing freeware or Cswing freeware openvms..

Hi Peter,

Thanks - I google at or for most of the things ;-) Apparently there are some troubles though with CSwing and 7.3, and maybe the OSD5 filesystem. That's why I was wondering if someone would be willing to share some hands-on experience, and might be able to recommend some good alternative software.

I found another intersting link meanwhile:

Mentioning FLIST. Guess I will give that a try, unless someone has a better recommendation. Is it possible that the freeware distribution used to be more transparent and better organized, or is it just me?! Anyway, ...

One persons idea of organization, is not necessarily that of another...

But I tend to agree, the "archives of Freeware" are difficult to dig into...

Hey, wasn't there just a posting from someone that looked like they were from HP, asking what extra things they could do...

Also on the freeware (or newer versions on Hunter Goatleys server http://www.process.com/openvms) is VTFM,
a file-manager claiming to be "Norton Commander" style.

Sorry, correct the URL for Hunters server:
http://www.process.com/openvms

(forgot to place a space before the ")".
