What would your package provide that the PCSI/VMSINSTAL kit does
not provide?
Oh, it's about the vmdk images that VSI sent out. I already have a
working system that I got under their previous hobbyist programme, jsut
wondered if it was possible to update my existing system by repackaging
stuff from the vmdk image and upgrading my system.
From the vmdk? Probably not. A compiler install updates the CLD, the HELP, and puts various files on the system (compiler, message files, startup files, release notes, maybe RTLs), etc. In particular, the CLD isn't just sitting around for all products. I would guess that VERB could extract it however? But you don't know the exact list of things to move/apply. That is all inside the PCSI/VMSINSTAL kit.
