I downloaded a saveset(I think) of StarTrek for VMS.

1. Downloaded StarTrek.zip from openvms hobbyist.com

2. Transferred the file to my VMS 7.3 system (SIMH, emulating a VAX)

3. Unzipped the file, creating StarTrek.bck.

Now, here's where the fun starts...

No matter what variant of BACKUP I use with the SELECT= parameter, I keep getting the %BACKUP-W-NOFILES, no files selected from... message.

Has anyone successfully restored these files? What the heck am I doing wrong?
How did you do this?
