If I > have a command procedure, I can say: I clarified the syntax of John's description in an earlier post, but the distinction is so important I'll repeat it in this thread. Brian, you are correct in that you can use the "print" command to submit a job to a batch queue. The danger of anyone wanting to permit remote sites to do this is that the batch job will most likely run under the username of the network server process. Even if it hacks out a different username, how can it ensure a valid password? Anyone attempting to serve remote queues needs to keep this in mind. What my CARDREADER symbiont does, is pipe your "PRINT" job to a process executing "SYS$SYSTEM:INPSMB", an old cardreader type interface similar to LOGINOUT. All jobs to CARDREADER (and INPSMB) require a "$JOB" and "$PASSWORD" line. (the $EOJ line is optional) These "cards" are processed using all the security of LOGINOUT thanks to the old DEC image. Why didn't DEC make INPSMB a true symbiont with JBC$ hooks? I dunno, I wish they had! (The mailback feature could have been worked out in other ways.) -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Robert Eden 817-897-0491 Glen Rose, TX Comanche Peak Steam Electric Station robert@cpvax.cpses.tu.com ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ politicese for a nuke plant ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Article 1388 of vmsnet.sources.d: Newsgroups: vmsnet.sources.d,comp.os.vms Path: cs.utk.edu!gatech!howland.reston.ans.net!noc.near.net!uunet!pipex!uknet!warwick!zaphod.crihan.fr!vishnu.jussieu.fr!univ-lyon1.fr!scsing.switch.ch!aragorn.unibe.ch!news From: egger@ubeclu.unibe.ch (Martin Egger) Subject: Re: European ftp.spc.edu mirror!

Virtual Disk drivers for AXP & VAX Message-ID: <00972694.3D7DB236.28026@WKUVX1.BITNET> From: "Hunter Goatley, WKU" Date: Sun, 12 Sep 1993 01:26:01 CST Reply-To: FSUPDATE@WKUVX1.BITNET Sender: goathunter@WKUVX1.BITNET Lines: 57 Xref: cs.utk.edu vmsnet.sources.d:1565 comp.os.vms:72397 Glenn Everhart has released a new version of his VAX virtual disk drivers, as well as an initial AXP set. His comments are included below my sig. These distributions include some documentation to aid you in setting up the virtual disks. The virtual disks use container files to simulate ODS-2 (VMS) disk drives. The VAX distribution includes software to implement a "cryptodisk" for automatic encryption of files. You can get them via anonymous ftp from ftp.spc.edu; you'll need: [.MACRO32]UNZIP.EXE or UNZIP.ALPHA_EXE [.MACRO32.SAVESETS]VDS_AXP.ZIP [.MACRO32.SAVESETS]VDS_VAX.ZIP You can get them via e-mail by sending the following commands in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@WKUVX1.BITNET: SEND VDS_AXP SEND VDS_VAX SEND FILESERV_TOOLS Hunter ------ Hunter Goatley, VMS Systems Programmer, Western Kentucky University goathunter@WKUVX1.BITNET (or goathunter%wkuvx1.bitnet@ULKYVM.LOUISVILLE.EDU) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Two virtual disk drivers have been ported to AXP/Alpha VMS 1.5 and are now available. These are VDdriver - uses contiguous files on any disks as though they were entire volumes. Any set of contiguous blocks may be used, even to a complete volume. An ASNVDM6 image serves to associate the contiguous file or set of blocks with a unit of VDAn: or to disassociate it, or to report the assigned filename. Operation is by editing the IRP slightly, then passing control to the driver for the physical disk. Accordingly, VDdriver imposes essentially no overhead on the I/O process. FQdriver - uses another process and a privileged host image to do the actual data storage. The image can store data anywhere it wants to. As an example, the fdhostcry5 image has also been ported. This provides an encrypted disk which resides on a file. The file must be fixed-512 type, but may be anywhere RMS can reach it and need not be contiguous. The author (Glenn Everhart) wishes to express his appreciation of the very significant help in this effort provided by various other DECUS software porting people. In addition, a new release of the current versions of the public domain VAX virtual disks has been made. Old versions have been removed and some documentation has been added to clarify what goes with what and how to build the drivers. Glenn C.

Thanx! From the FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions): 3.14) Finger Finger is a user locater and information tool. Many versions exist. One which is known to work with UCX was written by Matt Madison and is available via anonymous FTP from ftp.spc.edu. Another version, called "DECUS Finger" is available via anonymous FTP from ftp.spc.edu in subdirectory [.finger]. Its UCX support is present and works rather well, however a major rewrite is in progress. Jacob Levanon writes: "You can get a finger daemon that works with UCX/ WINS/TGV from logos.ucs.indiana.edu via anonymous ftp. (/pub/iufingerd)." Bernd Onasch has written a finger client and server, along with a number of other servers for "standard" Unix features like chargen, echo, etc. You can obtain these via anonymous FTP from ftp.spc.edu in the [.ucx] directory. - Bernie Volz Process Software Corporation Article 623 of vmsnet.networks.tcp-ip.ucx: Newsgroups: vmsnet.networks.tcp-ip.ucx Path: cs.utk.edu!gatech!howland.reston.ans.net!sol.ctr.columbia.edu!usenet.ucs.indiana.edu!logos.ucs.indiana.edu!hughes From: hughes@logos.ucs.indiana.edu (Larry J.

Your best bet is to pick up a copy of Kevin Ashley's MLSEARCH program. It's written in Fortran so you'll need the compiler (I don't think object files are included in the distribution), but it's a nice piece of work. It allows you to search single, multiple, or all folders and you can qualify what field the search string appears in (To:, From:, text), etc. You can get MLSAERCH via anonymous ftp from FTP.KCL.AC.UK, or via KCL's mail server, VMSSERV@KCL.AC.UK, by sending the one-line message: SEND MLSEARCH.PACKAGE -Ken -- Dr. Kenneth H.

These are NOT savesets, ZIP files, ZOO archives, etc. You may transfer as little or as much as you wish. Depending on user demand and interest we will expand the service to larger libraries and include other CDROMs as appropriate. Changes: (05-Feb-1995) We've added VS0135 (Fall, 1991), and VS0148 (Spring, 1992). (12-Jan-1995) We've added the OSF/1 Freeware CDROM to our inventory as a demonstration of the interoperability of Virtual Branches and ISO 9660. (11-Jan-1995) We've indexed all the *readme*.* files of the CDROMs. You can search the readme files using Gopher boolean searches and go directly to the README files (not the directory CONTAINING the readme files) to determine if these items are of interest to you. (10-Jan-1995) We've added the Fall 1993 (VS0168) and Spring 1994 (VS0169) CDROMs to our inventory. (27-Dec-1994) We've added the Digital FREEWARE CDROM to our inventory. (26-Dec-1994) We've indexed the directory listings of the CDROMs. You can now search the directory listings using Gopher boolean searches and go directly to the directories which contain the items of interest to you. As a consequence, some of the directory structures have changed. If you've linked to the ACDC using the old directory structure, you had better check to make sure you can still access things appropriately.

These are NOT savesets, ZIP files, ZOO archives, etc. You may transfer as little or as much as you wish. Depending on user demand and interest we will expand the service to larger libraries and include other CDROMs as appropriate. Changes: (10-May-1995) We've added the Fall 1994 DECUS L&T CDROM. (13-Mar-1995) We've added a CDROM detailing the OpenVMS/AXP Layered products as of May-1994. If we get a later version, we'll bring that one up. (05-Feb-1995) We've added VS0135 (Fall, 1991), and VS0148 (Spring, 1992). (12-Jan-1995) We've added the OSF/1 Freeware CDROM to our inventory as a demonstration of the interoperability of Virtual Branches and ISO 9660. (11-Jan-1995) We've indexed all the *readme*.* files of the CDROMs. You can search the readme files using Gopher boolean searches and go directly to the README files (not the directory CONTAINING the readme files) to determine if these items are of interest to you. (10-Jan-1995) We've added the Fall 1993 (VS0168) and Spring 1994 (VS0169) CDROMs to our inventory. (27-Dec-1994) We've added the Digital FREEWARE CDROM to our inventory. (26-Dec-1994) We've indexed the directory listings of the CDROMs. You can now search the directory listings using Gopher boolean searches and go directly to the directories which contain the items of interest to you. As a consequence, some of the directory structures have changed. If you've linked to the ACDC using the old directory structure, you had better check to make sure you can still access things appropriately.

The other files are the unpatched version of the library and in 'wx161vms.zip' there are technical comments about the changes and additions which I have done to the classlibrary. CAVE: It may be necessary to edit the file [.wxw161.src]motif.opt which contains the libraries that are linked into executables. The current 'motif.opt' works fine for my AXP, but maybe you have to add or modify some libraries. Please ask your system guru. It would be fine if some people could download the software and test and use it. Please report any installation or compilations problems to me. I will then try to incorporate your suggestions into the actual code. This will raise the quality of the port which is a benefit for all of us. -- MfG -- Stefan Hammes (stefan.hammes@urz.uni-heidelberg.de) Linux + PC - MSDOS - Windows = Heaven Article 7425 of vmsnet.networks.tcp-ip.multinet: Path: cs.utk.edu!cssun.mathcs.emory.edu!emory!swrinde!ihnp4.ucsd.edu!mvb.saic.com!info-multinet From: doemel@MACALSTR.EDU (Christopher Doemel) Newsgroups: vmsnet.networks.tcp-ip.multinet Subject: Re: PH server Message-ID: Date: Thu, 18 May 1995 09:18:21 -0500 Organization: Info-Multinet<==>Vmsnet.Networks.Tcp-Ip.Multinet Gateway X-Gateway-Source-Info: Mailing List Lines: 28 On Thu, 18 May 1995 07:55:25 -0500, Bill Doemel wrote: >Is there a Ph server that runs under alpha-VMS 6.1?

I don't know how well it will build on an Alpha, but I snagged a copy of the LLNL sandrock-oberman ph before they moved it to some unknown (to me) FTP server.

The MIIPS package (public domain) which I support can plot data (any number of points; any number of graphs, etc.) on graphics terminals and create postscipt files for output on printers. Besides X-Y plots, histograms, mesh plots, and contour plots are possible. The source code and example files are available in DUA4:[MIIPS.PLOT] at vms.ucc.okstate.edu by anonymous ftp. First look for the demo programs XYPLOTDEM, XYPLOTDEM2, XYPLOHDEM, and MESHDEM. A utility program, XYPLOT_PROGRAM can plot from ASCII files of data. A VMS-type command can also be set up to do plotting from previously created files. E.g. $ PLOT/DEVICE=.../XOFF=.../YOFF=.../etc. There is some documentation in [MIIPS.DOC] under V1CHAPT15.MEM and V3CHAPT07.MEM. If you need help on writing an application, let me know. Donald H.
