A new version has been announced on OpenVMS.org. The package has been downloaded and built, but it must still be integrated within the mail system.

There is a slight problem with it. When you download the package, it has a .GZ extension, but gunzip will fail. I experimented a bit and found it to be a normal ZIP file – VMS based. After having the file renamed to .ZIP, it unzipped nicely.
Be sure to have two extra packages downloaded: BZIP (from the same site) and LIBZ – that will be mentioned when you run the CONFIGURE procedure. The latter needs te be downloaded from another location – Alexei tells you where.
Once these packages have been downloaded and places in the appropitae locations, the CONFIGURE script will complete and yoú can start the BUILD procedure.
I got quite a number of warnings and informationals in compilation – and therfore, when LINKing, you’ll be informed again. But it might have to be related to teh C-compiler veriosn I;m using (7.3 on Alpha) and VMS version (8.3).
Anyway: it’s built and seems to run.

(A more detailed dewscription will follow later on)

BTW. the VAMP site seems to be down again…:(
