Hi!

First, Thanks to all who responsed to my question below.

All have saying that the file system format of the OpenVMS CD
is Files-11 format and Digital UNIX has no support for that
file system. I also called Digital Corp for the answer.
They also saying the same thing.

The only way to copy those files to Digital UNIX system is
to put the CD on a VMS system and use UCX to serve it to
the UNIX.

Thanks,
/PC.

     Howdy all,
     
     Is anyonce knows how to mount an OpenVMS Documentation CD-ROM
     on a UNIX system? I have tried:
     
     # mount -t cdfs -o noversion /dev/rz5c /mnt
     
     and
     
     # mount -rt cdfs -o noversion /dev/rz5c /mnt
     
     and
     
     # mount -r /dev/rz5c /mnt
     
     None of these mount flags work?
     
     The ideal is to copy all the Documentation files off the
     CD and put a disk on a UNIX system for a browsing from
     the Web.
     
     
     Any idea??
     
     Thanks,
     /PC
