I have released HGFTP V3.3-1 that will run on X86_64, in addition to
VAX, Alpha, and I64.

HGFTP is an FTP client and server that runs with any TCP/IP stack and
has full anonymous FTP support. A lot of what it offers is available now
in other clients and servers, but when it was introduced in the early
'90s, it provided STRU O VMS support and a lot of other features that
UCX, in particular, didn't have.

If you're not already running HGFTP, I'm not sure there's a compelling
case for deploying it these days, since FTP is largely falling out of
favor (and since HGFTP does not (yet?) support FTP over TLS). But there
were lots of sites depending on those features, so I assume I'm not the
only one interested in having it on X86_64.

The X86_64 version was compiled using the BLISS cross-compiler. I
actually ran into a problem with some built-in functions, but I finally
wrote some code to replace those.

You can download HGFTP V3.3-1 from the Process Software freeware archive:

https://vms.process.com/scripts/fileserv/fileserv_search.exe?package=hgftp

I supply VMSINSTAL kits. The current sources are included in the .F
saveset, but the installation procedure asks if you want to install the
sources, too.

These kits will install and run on VAX V5.5-2 or higher, Alpha V6.2 or
higher, I64 V8.2 or higher, and X86_64 V9.2-1.

I've also released a few more freeware packages for X86_64, including
FREE and HGLOGIN. I hope to add more in the coming months. You can
search for all of the X86_64 packages here:

https://www.process.com/resources/openvms/

There are currently 23 packages that now run on X86_64, including a CVS
client, HGSD, FLIST, VERB, and more.

As I emailed John, this was a false alarm. I mis-diagnosed the problem I
was debugging. Changing those appeared to fix the problem, but it was
misleading, as the problem was actually a race condition. I later found
and fixed the race condition, and I went back to the INSQUE and REMQUE
calls, and all is well now.
