The startup procedure is in DCL, the script language of OpenVMS. You are
right, the "!" indicates a comment.

That's all I can find here. So your system is running LAT but I don't know
what is started. Have a look at SYS$MANAGER:SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM and post the
line that calls the LAT startup procedure.

Then the queue handles the printing. But you missed to post the output of the
two jobs...

The command above starts the so called "queue manager". It is pretty common
on OpenVMS systems.

So you have DECNET running.

Strange. There is nothing configured. What do you see when you enter:
   SHO DEV LTA
