Hi,

I am just started to play around VMS running under simh's vax simulation.

I have all the kits download from HP and have the system running. I could  
have most the the compiler kits installed.  But for this VMS073LP.zip  
file, it is quite difficult.

First, may attend to unzip it with "-X" failed (although with the flag, it  
could unzip without problem), after download it directly from VMS itself,  
I could unzip it without error.

Then the VMS073LP.BCK file, I could "use backup /list vms073lp.bck  
/save_set" to list out the content. But I am not sure how to restore it.   
I tried to use command "backup vms073lp.bck /save_set dua2:", it seems it  
extract the content flat on dua2:, without any directory hierarchy:

I supposed I may be able to do something on the flatten data, but it does  
not look right to me. And I am not sure why it create the contents under  
the [root] directory, although I am restoring it with the "root" account.  
BTW, I created a user "root" with admin privilege.
