Subject: VAX/VMS installation help needed

I have a Microvax II running VAX/VMS 5.4-2 and Multinet 3.2(i think that's
the version).  I cannot find any vms files on the washington machine, unless
they are in the .Z file.  If so, then how do I unpack that file?  Or am I
missing something along the way?

thanks in advance

Washington does not support the VAX/VMS platform.

There are (AFAIK) a couple of commercial ports to VAX/VMS; there is
(I know - I run it) also a free port, by Yehavi Bourvine at HUJI
in Israel.

To read my notes about the latter, try here.

you'll find an appropriate pointer to the software too.

best regards
