I have downloaded the COBOL compiler from http://vmsone.com/~ovmskits/vax_kits2003, but I get errors when I try to install it:
%VMSINSTAL-I-RESTORE, Restoring product save set C ...
%BACKUP-E-READERRS, excessive error rate reading DUA1:[COBOL]COBOL057.C;1
-BACKUP-E-HDRCRC, software header CRC error
%BACKUP-I-SPECIFY, specify option (QUIT or CONTINUE)
BACKUP> quit
%BACKUP-F-ABORT, operator requested abort on fatal error
%VMSINSTAL-E-NOSAVESET, Save set C cannot be restored.
%VMSINSTAL-E-INSFAIL, The installation of COBOL V5.7 has failed.
Save set A and B seems to be ok.
It looks like save set C is corrupt. I have tried downloading it several times.
Can it be downloaded from somewhere else?

perhaps the file attributes are corrupted. What is the result of
DIR/FULL COBOL057.A
?

Yes, I think it is corrupt on the server. I've tried downloading it several times, and since savesets A and B seem OK, I don't think the problem is on my side.
Is there no way to get a VAX Cobol with a hobbyist licence? |

> COPY/FTP/BINARY from the OpenVMS host, for instance.
Is that possible from a HTTP server? |

wget is what I use - being a Unix guy, that's what I'm used to. |

It must have been something wrong with my ISP, translating to text even if I have specified I want binary - I tried downloading the file from a friend's place (same laptop, same version of wget), and now it works! I can finally play with my old Cobol programs again.
Sorry for the noise. |
