| World Wide Web access to the DECndu Plus kits for VMS are available as indicated
in the previous reply. What follows is the README file in that directory which
gives some tips on how to get the file to work properly with VMSINSTAL after you
have extracted the kit from the Web. In most cases, the file format will be
incompatible with VMS BACKUP, so the attached information will help you to get
things running.

README
------
The files in this directory are VMS BACKUP savesets. They must be copied in
binary mode. To do this, choose the "Options" menu bar item above and select
the "Load to Local Disk" option. Then go back to the previous page and select
a file from the following list. You will be prompted for the path and file
name to which the file will be written. You should choose "NDUPLUS010.A" as
the output file name.
Savesets in this directory:
nduplus_pre_v5_5_010.a - VAX/VMS prior to V5.5
nduplus_post_v5_5_010.a - OpenVMS VAX V5.5 and later
******************
* IMPORTANT NOTE *
******************
Once the NDUPLUS010.A file is on your VMS system, you must do one of the
following in order for the file to be recognized as a VMS BACKUP saveset by
VMSINSTAL.
1) If your system is running OpenVMS V6.0 or later, do the following:
$ SET FILE/ATTRIBUTE=(ORG:SEQ,RFM:FIX,LRL:9216) NDUPLUS010.A
2) If your system is running a version of VMS earlier than V6.0, do the
following:
$ ANALYZE/RMS_FILE/FDL NDUPLUS010.A
$ EDIT/FDL NDUPLUS010.FDL
Once you are in the FDL editor, select the 'Modify' keyword followed by the
'File' keyword. A display of the current file settings will appear. The
display should have settings similar to the following:
FILE
ALLOCATION 576
BEST_TRY_CONTIGUOUS no
CLUSTER_SIZE 3
CONTIGUOUS no
EXTENSION 0
FILE_MONITORING no
GLOBAL_BUFFER_COUNT 0
NAME "USER$701:[GAUDET]NDUPLUS010.A;1"
ORGANIZATION sequential
OWNER [CC_302,GAUDET]
PROTECTION (system:RWE, owner:RWED, group:, world:)
If the "ORGANIZATION" attribute is not set to "sequential", enter the
'Organization' keyword and specify 'Sequential' as the new value.
Now return to the Main Menu and select the 'Modify' keyword again followed
by the 'Record' keyword. A display of the current record settings will
appear. The display should have the following settings:
RECORD
BLOCK_SPAN yes
CARRIAGE_CONTROL carriage_return
FORMAT fixed
SIZE 9216
If these are not correct in your display, select the appropriate attribute
keyword and change the setting to the above specifications.
CONTROL-Z a couple of times to exit the editor and save the FDL file.
Now convert the saveset file as follows:
$ EXCHANGE/NETWORK/TRANS=BLOCK/FDL=NDUPLUS010.FDL NDUPLUS010.A NDUPLUS010.A
You can now proceed to install the kit with VMSINSTAL.
