Any help would >be appreciated----Bill Bill, If you're talking about connecting a VMS share on the client: You need to purchase part# QM-2CLAA-AB which is a license for "file and print access" clients. You need to load this license onto the VMS machine designated as "license server" with SYS$UPDATE:VMSLICENSE and then MC PWRK$LICENSE_MANAGER to add it the license to the license pool. You must also load the client piece called a "license responder"...if you are using TCP/IP to get at your VMS machine...DO NOT install the DECNET network protocol on the client...ONLY THE LICENSE RESPONDER. You can find the client software on the internet: ftp://ftp.service.digital.com/public/dos/pc/v5.0/pathworks_dos/5.0 filename: pwv5clt_fpa_eco12.zip If you're talking about emulation, there are several emulators such as "Swift" from NetManage that can emulate TCP/IP telnet VMS sessions. If your VMS machine doesn't support TCP/IP, then you will have to install DECNET onto the client machine from the software up above and use CTERM to emulate a VMS session.
