Hello Camiel, did you update the CVS? I updated the code few mins ago, but now the OpenVMS 8.3 installation seems to loop shortly after the OpenVMS banner. These are the memory addresses: 187868 | ffffffff801aa170 285915 | ffffffff80012208 Before the latest update (when I reported the format error), 1 min after the openvms banner, I had "Installing some known required files..." message, but in this case, after about 10 mins, nothing happens. regards, fausto Quoting Camiel Vanderhoeven <iam...@gm...>: > And once again a mail on this subject: > > I think the problem has been solved.
