Folks,



I successfully installed OpenVMS 8.4-2L1 on new axpbox emulator under Linux
VM. I noticed axpbox is faster than FreeAXP because OpenVMS Alpha system is
as fast as running SIMH VAX emulator.



I was planning to install some compilers on system but can't find any
compilers package on VSI OpenVMS 8.4-2L1 distro.



How do I write some programs without compilers on VSI OpenVMS system?

Read the fine documentation that came with the software. All layered products come on a separate virtual disk.

products.

Community license and software should include compilers.

But VMS comes with Macro-32.

When you go to the VSI FTP site for Alpha downloads there is a LPS directory with two large ZIP files (200MB each). You have to download those.

AVMS842L2LP1.ZIP
