[Info-vax] old hobby cdrom

[nierveze]

hello everyone , I got a new rrd45 ,and it works ,I can read the cdrom .I
ftp'ed the content of the cd to a pc ,I tried to be careful with file types
( .com are ascii files in vms ,bin  in pcs etc..).I will make a cd ,of
course it will not be a vms cd ,but exe's will be executables ,ascii files
will be readable,sources could be compiled again.I think that save sets will
usable also ,maybe after some fixing.I cannot upload those files to some
place because of the volume ,but I can send the the cdrom to some one who
can do it,so that all those nice programs (utilities and games) can be
available to anyone ,any ideas???
best regards
alain nierveze
