I found this packages at ftp://ftp.langstoeger.at/vms/KITS/VAX/ directory. Looks like this work for OpenVMS 7.3 VAX version. Only problem the VMS distribution does not contain unzip.exe file. So you need to find it within freeware and install it! And remember, without license the layered product does not work!

Commercial VMS software licenses for VAX available from HPE.

mister_wavey February 12 2022 I recall that the disks failed on the public access VMS systems that included Fafner

I had a hobbyist account here but can longer access the site.

MarkRLV September 17 2021 At one time, didn't this web site have a job board? I would love to use my legacy skills one last time in my career.
