OK. Compiled and linked executable images (EXE's) ??

You also wrote "...also running a vms-like or vms system".
Now, why would one like to transfer EXE's to something that
is just "vms-like" ?
What do you expect to do with these "compiled programs" on
that "other host" ?

I think you have to come up with a more complete picture
of the whole problem before anyone can help you further.

But hhy not try to solve the *root* problem instead ?

1. Re-create the original (simulated) hardware.

2. Fix the license problem.

3. Get TCPWare running (have yu talked with Process ?).

4. Install TCPIP/Services.
