I just added a lot of memory to my Alpha so I figured I might actually be able to do some stuff with it like run a web browser. I installed the CSWB kit that was on the Alpha hobbyist disc. It identifies itself as:
Secure Web Browser V1.7-13 is based on Mozilla 1.7.13
Unfortunately, if I run it from a DECterm while logged on at the console, it crashes DECwindows. The final entries in the DECW$SERVER_0_ERROR.LOG:
11-AUG-2010 20:35:05.4 vmsScreenClose: Closing screen down
11-AUG-2010 20:35:05.5 FreeFontPath: FPE "DECW$SYSCOMMON:[SYSFONT.DECW.100DPI]"
refcount is 2, should be 1; fixing.
11-AUG-2010 20:35:05.9 vmsScreenClose: Closing screen down
11-AUG-2010 20:35:06.3 AddResource(8000c1, c0000002, d2129a8), client=2

11-AUG-2010 20:35:06.4 Fatal server error:
11-AUG-2010 20:35:06.4
I tried increasing my process quotas in SYSUAF and also tried boosting the servers quotas in DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.COM but it still crashes the same way.
Anyone have any ideas what I might try to be able to use this at the console? It works fine if I set the display to my linux machine (I'm posting this right now using cswb displayed on linux) so it's apparently some kind of issue with the DECwindows display server.

malmberg December 12 2017 HPE only makes the most current version of OpenVMS Alpha / IA64 /VAX available to hobbyists. When I had access to the Alliance 1 program it was the same. No public downloads are allowed by HPE.

malmberg September 10 2017 https://sourceforge.net/p /vms-ports/wiki/VMSInstal lation/ For the most part just use VMS 6.1 media instead of 7.3. But why run the older release?
DoeveR August 07 2017 Where can I find the write up on running VMS 6.1 using the simh emulator?
