[Info-vax] Alpha Community licenes.

[Steven Schweda]

> Sure, but the Windows Explorer shows the zip content [...]

   My complaint is more general; Windows was not involved at my end.  It
looks as if it might have been involved at VSI:

$ unzip -Zv ALPHA_COMMUNITY_LICENSE_PAK.zip

Archive:  SYS$SYSROOT:[SYSMGR]ALPHA_COMMUNITY_LICENSE_PAK.zip;1
There is no zipfile comment.
[...]

Central directory entry #1:
---------------------------

  ALPHA_COMMUNITY_LICENSE_PAK_SEP_2022.COM

  offset of local header from start of archive:   0
                                                  (0000000000000000h) bytes
  file system or operating system of origin:      MS-DOS, OS/2 or NT FAT

   Did you try that?  That's exactly what led to the faulty line endings
in the .COM files on my VMS system.  (That, combined with the way the
.zip archives and their contents were made.)

   A different file was also not a roaring success for what might be
related reasons: sys$help:VSI_OPENVMS_CRTL_NOTES.TXT (part of the
RTL-V0500 patch).  I suspect  that that one looked fine on a Windows
system, too.

   It's possible that VMS users would have less trouble if VSI used VMS
more.
