GNV for OpenVMS

GNV (GNU's Not VMS) is an open source, GNU-based UNIX environment for OpenVMS provides UNIX application developers, system managers, and users a UNIX-style environment on OpenVMS. This facilitates development and porting of UNIX software to OpenVMS. (GNU is a UNIX-like operating system that is free software.) GNV provides a UNIX-like shell (command-line interpreter) environment. The shell used by GNV is BASH (Bourne-Again SHell), from GNU, using the POSIX.2 specification.

HP is pleased to announce the availability of GNV version 3.0-1. GNV V3.0-1 has upgrades for 16 packages to the latest GNU level out of 24 total packages, including 81 components upgrades and 25 new components

GNV is a zip file containing the GNV PCSI file and its associated manifest. You can unzip the file using Unzip for OpenVMS on an OpenVMS system. If you unzip it using WinZip on a Windows system, be sure to copy or FTP both files to the same directory on the OpenVMS system.

See Secure Delivery documentation for more information about the manifest file.

See GNV Read Before Installing in HTML, PDF, or Text.

GNV Version 1.9 provides most of the improvements of V2.1-2 for OpenVMS Alpha Version 7.3-2. Symbolic links are not supported because that version of VMS does not have the necessary features in the filesystem.
