Unfortunately I don't - the only collection of layered products
offered on the HP hobbyvax FTP account is VMS073LP.ZIP, which contains
a BACKUP saveset rather than an ISO. Other than that, it's PCSI or VMS
Install kits in ZIP archives. As I said, I tried copying those, but it
didn't work - from what you're telling me and what I've read
elsewhere, it sounds like the problem may be that the metadata got
stripped because I extracted the kits from the ZIPs on my PC rather
than on the VAX. I'll try copying the archives over instead, and see
whether that helps matters.
