Introducing Tru64 Freeware
Swift Griggs, our in-house classic Unix expert, has created Tru64 Freeware using the EPM package manager created by Mike Sweet. The packages use a portable format that self-installs. They come pre-packaged as version-indicated tarballs.
OpenSSH Updated for Tru64!
Best of all, we compile and package our own version of OpenSSH for Tru64 5.1 ! It works a LOT better than the DEC, Compaq, and HP versions which are very old SSH Communications versions of Secure Shell and have a lot of incompatibility problems now. If you choose to use OpenSSH 7.5p1, you can still use SSH version1, interact with OpenVMS systems, as well as communicate with modern SSH2 protocols and Linux machines. It's the best of all worlds at the moment for Tru64.
You'll find a lot of other freeware packages but it's all newer than anything you'll find on the old 2010 version of the Tru64 Freeware collection ISO CDROMs.
