For what it's worth, I've got a CD of a set of old VMSes, from 2.8 to 4.5 and I think later, that I'm willing to copy for you. (HP has a Hobbyist VMS license classification, and this would fall under that, so I'm permitted to copy the images, data, etc, for you, as it was copied for me. Once you've got the CD, you're expected to get your own hobbyist license if you want to play with anything.) Where should I send it to?
