Anyone have DCPS V2.6 running on OpenVMS 7.1 and UCX 4.2-5

Has anyone tried running DCPS V2.6 on an Alpha running OpenVMS V7.1 and UCX 4.2-5? I know neither is supported but a customer is asking so I thought I'd ask before telling them it won't run.

I have used both DCPS V2.5 and the field test 2.7 on VMS 7.1 (alpha) and UCX 4.1-2. I don't have a supported printer. They work for one of my unsupported printers, but not the other one.

My uneducated guess is that it is worth a try.

There is no reason why that combination won't work. OpenVMS V7.1 is no longer officially supported by HP, but DCPS will run just fine with it, and with that version of UCX.

Thank you, I'll try it and see what happens.
