The Yohkoh Software System is designed to be compatible with the VMS operating system and is currently running under VMS at several locations, however, we recommend that Unix be selected for analysis of Yohkoh data if possible.
Currently, the VMS installation and upgrade process is not as automated as the Unix procedure. At the time of publication, the BCS team was the main user of the Yohkoh package under VMS, and it appears that they will transition completely to Unix in the future.
The BCS team may be able to offer some guidance and VMS command files to assist in installing the Yohkoh system under VMS, however we can make no promises that future Yohkoh software releases will be supported on VMS systems. For more information, send e-mail and it will be forwarded appropriately.
