Bitsavers and deepblue have all the tape distributions, but not D6.0A (which is the one that is ready to rock'n'roll under Hercules). I took the D6.0A media, configuration, and PDF of an old MTS Q&A page and put them up to as a stopgap. We'll find out if my ISP meant it when they said "There are no set limits on the disk space or data transfer (bandwidth) that we provide in our hosting plans." |

I put it to the files section of this group; it chews up a bit of our 1GB allocation, but I think it's important enough to warrant the dent in the DASD budget. |

From there, clicking the download link takes you to: * Where a non-clickable Google Drive download link (that must be manually copied and pasted into your browser) is presented. Using THAT URL: * will eventually get you to the Google Drive web page where you can then FINALLY download the actual distribution from. It's a 79.1MB download, and *appears* to be the current d6.0a distribution, but not being that "up" on MTS, I can't say for sure. Only someone from the MTS group who is familiar with MTS distributions will be able to tell for sure. Hope that helps! -- "Fish" (David B. Trout) Software Development Laboratories mail: fish@... |

I've got my mitts involved in several different things at the moment (as usual) so it might be a while yet before I can get around to giving it a try. But rest assured I will! -- "Fish" (David B.
