[COFF] Re: VAX/VMS 4.4 Source Listing?

Matt, I sent a former co-worker the VMS developer lead an email this AM. I was pretty sure I knew the answer to my question when I asked if this had any value. His reply was: *Not sure about this particular version, but there certainly are other copies floating around.* *One thing to be aware of is that to my knowledge**, DEC never released a complete source kit outside of the company at any price *(... we certainly had that behavior in Ultrix/Tru64-land I know for sure...)*. The kits redacted "sensitive" information, including some of the authentication methods and the license enforcement (er, compliance assistance) code. What was sold as a "source kit" (media, under license) was, nonetheless considered a trade secret with all the markings. * *I had a complete copy of the master source pack in Marlborough during the Aquarius development/debug time; I know I put backup tape of that into the CHM. That has the CMS library which would go back to at least V1. (That would be c.a. 1987-9.) But the master pack contains only the VMS OS & some tightly coupled products (e.g. rms). The languages were elsewhere, as was the workstation software.* Clem ᐧ On Mon, Feb 6, 2023 at 12:38 PM segaloco via COFF <coff(a)tuhs.org> wrote:
