WHERE IN THE WORLD DO I GET THIS STUFF?
Google leads me around and around. I've created VMSware accounts,
Broadcom accounts, gawd only knows where account, etc. I still don't
have this software to download and run this VMS X86.

Check the proceedings and transactions of the comp.os.vms collegiate,
from the beginning of December.
Well, ever since aioe.org went south, I've been forced to use Unison on
my Mac for news. The damn Unison thing pukes up a hairball nearly every
time I touch the keyboard which is why I've been so absent here. I so
miss using newsrdr on VMS.
Anyway, after much anquish, I do dinally have VMS running on an HP
17-cn0021nr (???) laptop with Intel Quad-Core i5-10210U (???), 32GB
memory, 1TB storage and, the best of all, NO WEENDOZE!!! It arrived
with Linux Mint installed. I'm not a fan of the Mint UI but since this
will basically be a VMS "server" I don't care.
I finally got VMS to boot with the Virtualbox emulator late evening
yesterday. After little more finagling earlier this morning and I was
able to ssh into it from my Mac! I'd perfer to be able to use the Mac
as its iTerm does a fairly faithful emulation of a VT terminal and I
can use the extended keyboard too to give me a functional alternate
keypad. Now, all I need to do is get this thing working in a cluster environment so that I can share my source code drives and get RMS-CDC
ported and maybe a few more things too!!!
