Yesterday I said goodbye to my colleagues at JKP, a Dutch IT services complany where I've worked part time for the last two years. If you're looking for someone to take care of your OpenVMS, HP-UX or Storage systems management needs in the Netherlands, check out www.jkp-ictbeheer.nl.
On this occasion, one of my (now former) colleagues, an ex-DEC service engineer, presented me with some very nice microfiche:
These are the source listings for VAX/VMS 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4 and 3.0, as well as DECnet-VAX 1.0
Fortunately, I also have the necessary equipment to read these microfiche. Thank you very much for a wonderful present, Rien!
