Does anyone have a copy of the genealogy program that was developed by DEC employees? I have a copy of the program as it was when I left DEC in 1992, but it is on a 9-track tape. Does anyone have access to a 9-track if I can't find the program? I took the early retirement that DEC offered in 1992, and I'm now planning to really retire and start using my VAX station for genealogy because I really like the output that is generated from the VMS program.
Besides the VAX station, I have an Alpha, which my husband says I need to get rid of because he thinks it takes too much room. Does anyone have an idea how to advertise this, since it is really not something the average person would be interested in? I'm not sure that he wasn't talking about the microvax I have, which I haven't been able to bring up since I got it because it is missing some of the disks that it expects to have. We are planning to put that out the next time the city has an electronic disposal day.
I have been consulting in MANMAN on OpenVMS since I left DEC in 1992. Most of the work these days is on Alphas.

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.
