Hey Mark:

Thanks for the pointers and i have been able to do the following.

1. sign up on decus.org

2. troubleshoot SSH access as OpenVMS offers ssh-DSS
   ssh -oHostKeyAlgorithms=+ssh-dss khan at decus.org

3. find my way around with basic DCL commands, thanks to
   http://antapex.org/vms.txt

4. basic commands of EVE (extensible versatile editor)
   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EVE_(text_editor)

5. wrote, compiled and execute a C program with inputs from OpenVMS C guide

That sure felt good. Thanks a bunch.


warm regards
Saifi.
