The Demise of the JAC & JCMT Vax Systems

With effect from August 5th, the JAC and the JCMT computer access for staff and visitors will be entirely through the Unix-based workstations. There will be no user access to VMS-based computing facilities.

Although the current JCMT operating system runs on VMS, the Vax machines will not be generally available to users. Files created on the Unix machines which are necessary to carry out observations, such as user- created source catalogs and pattern files, will be able to be read by the telescope control Vax.
