To complete the information for you, Timothe, I did get the VMSINSTAL to run successfully on two SimH VAX setups. There was a complaint issued about a missing license for the "lexicon" which suggested to me that perhaps the spelling checker won't work.
Although DECWrite is installed, and appears on the menus in DECWindows, it does not run. I remembered that you (or someone else?) said that a bug in the program means that the CMKRNL privilege is required to run it, and I did make sure I had that before attempting it. I also tried running it under the SYSTEM account, which should sidestep any issues with privilege. From the point of view of the DECWindows user, nothing happens when the program is launched. The error message logs, however, do indicate a clear problem. During initialization, the following error message appears: %DCL-W-ACTIMAGE, error activating image XDPS$DPSLIBSHR Without knowing what this image is, I am guessing that something else had to be installed first. I don't see any suggestion that another product was needed beyond DECWindows itself, though. The connection and DECWindows itself do work as expected. I can run other built-in applications without difficulty. Perhaps someone on the list has more information about this problem? I'm still hoping to get hold of the Alpha version of this package to see if it will work there. --Gary _______________________________________________ Simh mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.trailing-edge.com/mailman/listinfo/simh
