See (Which of course is what I'm now using) In that case HP would be the license holder. Also, it might be something slightly less ancient than the old alpha the deathrow folks have. George Greer started down this path to set up a smoker and got tangled up at how different it is from anything he's used to, but he did get as far as a relatively clean build of 5.14.1. It would be *very* useful to have a VMS smoker automatically processing smoke-me branches. I've not looked at the smoke testing code, but the biggest concerns I'd have are 0: Can the machine cope with it? I suspect that smoke-testing is a full time job. 1: Are HP happy with it? :-) 2: Presumably the smoker process fires off with cron, or somesuch. I don't know any VMS sysadmin type stuff to translate how things are done from Unix. Nicholas Clark
Re: scp to VMS
VMS Engineering has given us some feedback on SCP: The pscp program from Linux putty tools package will work with the VMS SCP program. I tested this and it work. This package does not appear to be available for Mac OS-X, so I do not have a solution there. Regards, -John

I already seem to have it installed on the local Ubuntu machine. (Side effect of playing with pterm, after getting fed up with Gnome terminal) This package does not appear to be available for Mac OS-X, so I do not have a solution there. It all builds from source, once I remove the -Werror (It finds the Gtk I have installed from macports, and one of the putty programs is using functions which this version of Gtk has marked as deprecated) Thanks for finding this.
