ABSTRACT
This MicroNote explains the contents of the MicroVMS
distribution kit as well as listing the "Full" VMS files
not included in said kit. The description is of
MicroVMS V4.1M and VAX/VMS V4.1, but will apply, with
minor changes, to later revisions of VMS V4.
DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPONENTS OF THE MICROVMS KIT
The MicroVMS kit comes in three parts - a standalone BACKUP piece
(currently three diskettes), the BASE system (which is copied to a
blank, formatted hard disk by the standalone BACKUP) and a collection of
additional pieces which are added to the system (using VMSINSTAL) as
though they were layered products. These pieces are labeled UTIL, USER,
PROG and SYSP. Another piece, described here but purchasable
separately, is NET (DECnet). Note that the tape distribution contains
all these components (except DECnet) on a single volume - even so, the
partitioning is the same.
The installation procedure for MicroVMS is simple - first boot the
standalone BACKUP volume, use it to copy the BASE system to the hard
disk, then boot and log into the system thus built. In many cases, no
other files need be included on the hard disk. If necessary, additional
options can be added to the system using VMSINSTAL and the remaining
pieces of the distribution kit. The following sections describe the
components, starting with the Base system.
The files are divided into classes according to their usefulness in a
turnkey runtime environment. Class I was established experimentally, as
described in MicroNote # 37 - "In Search of NanoVMS". The remaining
classes represent the author's opinion, rather than defining a
hierarchy, and were based on the author's experiences with minimum
runtime environments. Your environment may be somewhat different.

Class VI files -
These are files required by options which are not included in the BASE
System:
sys$message:NETWRKMSG.EXE - DECnet error messages
FILES INCLUDED IN THE OPTIONAL KITS
The optional kits include UTIL, USER, PROG, SYSP and (at additional
cost) NET. The files of these kits are described in the next sections
of the MicroNote. First, a word of explanation about the format: These
kits are in VMSINSTAL format - this means they consist of a number of
BACKUP savesets. Thus the UTIL option consists of the UTILxxx.A,
UTILxxx.B, etc. savesets, where "xxx" is a number giving the version
and revision level. Each saveset is listed separately, and denoted as
"UTIL_A", "UTIL_B", etc. The savesets are described individually
because they can be added to your system (or not) depending on your
replies to the interactive VMSINSTAL.COM procedure. The "_A" saveset
contains the installation data tables and any default files (if any)
needed by ALL the other savesets, so it will often appear empty in the
tables below.
NETWORK DEVICE DRIVERS
In order to permit the use of DECnet communication
devices as synchronous serial lines, the hardware
drivers are included in the UTIL option, and do not
require a DECnet license. These same files are also
included in the DECnet kit so as to simplify network
installation.

SUMMARY
This MicroNote details the contents of the MicroVMS system, as well as
the portion of VAX/VMS not supplied with MicroVMS. The reader can use
this information to determine whether any unnecessary files can be
omitted from a turnkey system. Additional information can be found in
MicroNote # 37 ("In Search of NanoVMS") which describes a working
minimal VMS subset. Further information about the structure of VMS can
be found in the full VMS document set (Order # QL001-GZ-V4.0 and update
QL001-WZ-V4.1), "VAX/VMS Internals and Data Structures" (Digital Press,
1984) and the VAX/VMS source listings on microfiche (source license
required -- see sales representative).
NOTE
DIGITAL does not recommend the deletion of any component
files of the MicroVMS or VAX/VMS operating systems
except where explicitly stated in the respective
document sets (of which this is NOT a part). A subset
operating system cannot be warranted or supported by
DIGITAL in any way. This MicroNote is to be used for
informational purposes only, and represents the
research, conclusions and opinions of the author, not
those of DIGITAL or OEM Technical Support.
