Red Hat 7.2 media for Alpha?

[Sullivan, Glenn]

I love that these listservs still exist… I almost reached out last week with an error on an old OpenVMS 7.2 (emulated) system that we still have live, but I figure out the issue on my own…

And people wonder why I wrote a batch script that can tell the correct last day of February no matter what year, even though the next leap year exception is waaaay far away… ☺

Awesomesauce!

I was about to suggest hitting the DEC forums [3] of the Vintage Computer Federation (VEF).  They have several museum locations around the US, and keep real hardware running, so they might be able to assist.

But that archive looks like it has the wrapper and other support.  Again, awesomesauce!
