Data exchange between OpenVMS and Windows 10 via .img file possible?
Posted: Fri Nov 22, 2019 2:15 pm
Dear all,
I want to compile an old OpenVMS utility of mine which I continued to develop under Linux/Windows when I lost DEC and my access to OpenVMS systems many years ago.
The natural way to go about things in getting the files necessary into OpenVMS (FreeAXP student package) would have been the network. As I'm still encountering networking problems, however, I cannot continue with the port.
As a workaround, I marveled about copying the files into some kind of container (along the lines of building a .vmdk file in VMWare). I imagine that such a container would have to have a file system that both Windows and OpenVMS understand. How could I go about this?
I'll be grateful for any ideas because currently I feel like helping myself to a bloody nose whichever way I try to go.
Best regards, Michael
