Questions: 

We have just received our maintenance upgrade of OpenVMS 7.1
and the Internet Suite on CD ROM.
Unfortunately we do not have a CD attached to our VAX
4000/500a.
Is there any way that I can read the CD's on a PC so I can
transfer the data to the VAX over the Network?

1788.1Acquire A CD-ROM DriveXDELTA::HOFFMANSteve, OpenVMS EngineeringTue Apr 29 1997 14:197
   Acquire a CD-ROM for the OpenVMS VAX system -- new (or used) DIGITAL
   (or compatible)  CD-ROM drives are readily available.

   I am not aware of a PC-based package that can interprete the ODS-2
   on-disk file structure.
