Hello,
I'm a network admin, and I've got an Alpha server running OpenVMS.
I did find some .exe files but i tried to run them, and failed, my guess is that they exist from the earlier, VAX system...
I want to bring them home and analyze them. can anyone tell me which headers those files use? (OpenVMS and VAX OSes) and where can I disassemble them ?
(or better yet, emulate thier running, although I doubt it exist on x86...)

There are some VAX-emulators that runs on PC.

If it's not an ALPHA image, the message you get would tell you so. What message do you get?
As Hakan stated, there are VAX emulators for PC; the most versatile is Charon-VAX - when running on HP hardware, fully supported - but that requires big, 2 processor hardware and a license.
You could try to VEST them (migrate to Alpha) but that may not work when privileged code is involved (which may be the case).
