To celebrate my new account on OpenVMS/VAX, I'll share my experiences getting reacquainted with VMS.
I was never a VMS expert. After using a VAX/VMS system a couple of times in college days long ago, I've played a little bit with the Alpha here and on the Deathrow cluster (R.I.P.), but even then it's been a couple of years since I've done more than logged-on. This is an adventure of rediscovering the little about VMS I knew, and then onward and upward.
Day 1
Logged-in, changed my password, poked around my home directory, wrote/compiled/ran programs in BASIC, FORTRAN, C. Tried unsuccessfully to set up my VAX web page.
Commands: MAIL, HELP, SET PASSWORD, DIR, TYPE, BASIC, LINK, RUN, FORTRAN, CC, SET DEFAULT, SET SECURITY /PROTECTION
There are also programs FORTH and MACRO, which I haven't checked out yet.
Keep hacking the good hack!
