[gnu.utils.bug] GNU C, G++, etc. tape for VMS

rlopez@ARIEL.UNM.EDU (Robert Lopez TIJERAS) (11/15/88)

Hello,
	I have sent many messages for help on this, but have never received
any answer. I hate to keep repeating, but I need an answer.
	Last spring we purchased the GNU tape for VMS and the second tape
for VMS. Both tapes were labeled VMS Back-Up. We were able to load the GNU
tape with no problems. After several trys we decided the second tape was
not a save-set. We were not able to do any sort of directory on the tape
so we decided the tape was bad. We returned the tape and Stacey Goldstein
sent us a second tape. The second tape seemed to be just like the first.
We decided to keep messing with the tape. Eventually we were able to get
the first file off the tape. It seemed to be a command file to load all the
rest of the tape. It appeared to use some logicals not meaningfull for our
VAX so we made-up some definitions which seemed to be appropriate. We tried
to then execute it. It seemed to be working for a few moments. Then we 
began to get a lot of errors. Most indicated other missing symbol/logical
definitions. We were not able to get any working program off the tape.
	Can anyone supply more instructions?
