We have just acquired a VAX 11/750 running 4.1 BSD UN*X for our software design engineers. Prior to the VAX, all of our development was on 5 PDP 11/23's running RSX11-M. Well, we are trying to maximize our use of the VAX, but are having problems locating UTILITIES to do: 1) RSX-11M compatability mode under 4.1 BSD UN*X. Similar to the one available under VMS. For OMSI Pascal-2 compilation and task building. 2) RSX-11M to UN*X to RSX-11M communication package. This could be either a UN*X DECnet package, or UUCP running on RSX-11M, or just a nifty file transfer program. (Better than CU) 3) UN*X ANSI tape utility - I heard that one was coming on USEnet (??). 4) ANY UN*X utilities, i.e. cross-compilers, transfer programs, task builders, simulators, debuggers, for talking with RSX-11M. 5) Or as a last resort, does anybody have opinions and/or reviews about EUNICE on VMS. That has been suggested as an alternative. If anyone is aware of any of these utilities, PLEASE mail or call me. We are willing to beg, borrow, or buy. Thanks a bunch in advance. johnj - John J.
