Hi.  I'm trying to find any-and-all information on an implementation
of TCP/IP for VAX/VMS named ANET+

Sorry for the sparse info.  All I have is the product name and
the fact that its marketed (at least) in Japan.

Thanks for any help.

Yes, there's a fix.  You're only two versions behind now.  (I haven't
updated the DECUS Library submission yet, but will shortly.)  The
latest version of the Supervisor Series, which includes SUPERVISOR for
watching terminals and entering input and PHOTO for recording terminal
sessions to a log file, is v5.3, just released about a week ago.  V5.3
addresses this problem specifically.

The Supervisor Series is available via anonymous ftp from ftp.spc.edu
([192.107.46.27]).  You'll need the following files:

        [.MACRO32]LZDCMP.EXE
        [.MACRO32.SAVESETS]SUPERVISOR.BCK_Z

To get the Supervisor Series via e-mail, send the following commands
in the body of a message to FILESERV@WKUVX1.BITNET:

SEND SUPERVISOR
SEND FILESERV_TOOLS

The Supervisor Series is installed with VMSINSTAL and includes
documentation in ASCII text, Bookreader, and PostScript formats.
There is a mailing list to discuss Supervisor Series problems and
usage.  To subscribe, send the following command in the body of a
mail message to LISTSERV@WKUVX1.BITNET (note, that's LISTSERV):

I am running VCS 1.4 under VMS 5.5-1 with all of the latest DECwindows
Motif patches installed.  I've run into a problem with the VCS Coordinator
window displaying shaded objects incorrectly on a Jupiter Series 600

Has anyone seen a similar problem?  Does anyone at DEC know what type of objects
the VCS Coordinator window has and how they are manipulated?  I've already
logged calls with DEC CSC, but obtaining this information is like pulling
teeth.  If it will help, I can mail you a Postscript screen dump.

After installing DECwindows/VMS V5.5 the color display on my VR292 RGB color
console monitor is all wrong. The system thinks it's a grey-scale monitor and
will only display the intensity window when attempting to change the
colors. The
default is a hurtful neon-green! Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks.

From the behavior you describe it looks like on your system (V5.4-2)  
adding the identifier or the instance of granting it to the user 
set the attributes to DYNAMIC.

You might check this out with

UAF> show/ident/full foo

See what you get in the display.

To me the strange thing is that my recollections of V5.4-2 are that 
NODYNAMIC was the default -- but I could be wrong.   

Perhaps you need to specify

UAF> add/identifier/attrib=nodynamic foo

or

UAF>mod/identifier/attrib=nodynamic foo

doesn't either. I can "set/startup OPA0:" and get "$". But there doesn't seem much I can do. I tried to delete vaxvmssys.par and copy a
vaxvmssys.old to it, hope it can revert the machine to the state that
was set to by vaxvmssys.old. This doesn't work either. There are
messages like saying error activating mountshr... and secureshrp or
secureshrp protected image must be installed... I didn't realize it's
so serious. Before I try to restore the weekly backup (that we'll lost
some work), can somebody tell me what can I do? Thanks very much.

It works great over DECnet between VMS nodes, either local nodes or across

	Yikes! I'm sure there's an easy answer for this one!  How come the

Process names are implicitly qualified by group number:  To see a process
selected by name, the group under which you are running has to match the
group under which the process is running.  The SWAPPER runs under SYSTEM,
which is UIC [1,4]; so the "full" name of the process is [1]SWAPPER, where
the [n] part of the name can't be specified explicitly.  I'll bet you are
running from a process in group 1, probably SYSTEM, on the standalone
system, but not on the cluster.

We are in a similar situation, were also looking at the 6000-610, and are now 
trying to get a 7000-xxx.  Two reasons : it's cheaper than a 6610; I need it 
NOW!!, and it is a board upgrade to Alpha.  Also, I hear that DEC is offering a 
price lockin for the upgrade to Alpha for customers who wnat to goto alpha but 
need it now and will buy a 7000 or 10000 VAX till alpha is ready.

Processor speed has been climbing real fast lately in the VAX product line.
In addition, in most instances the VAX processors despite being a CISC 
machine come quite close in performance to RISC boxes on the market from
Sun, IBM, and HP.  Also, if you look in the trade magazines, a lot of the
new VAXes are faster than the RISC boxes in transactions per second with
a lower price tag.  IMHO, the VAX/VMS systems are a little pricey, but 
they are more robust and resistent to failures and security problems than other 
systems.  In addition, the VAX/VMS systems provide a tremndous full-function
programming environment.  I have been working with VAX/VMS for the past 8
years, and I still have more to learn.  I should also note that price tags
for new VAX systems have also been coming down.  For instance, I think you
can pick up a VAXstation 4000/VLC for about $3500.  That's not bad at all!

I also believe that DEC is trying to keep production costs down in their 
current VAXstation line.  I really doubt that you will see multi-processor
VAXstations, but I believe that the new VAXstations are quite fast.  I 
do not believe they really need much more speed to compete effectively.
One thing DEC could work on is, DECwindows/Motif runs incredibly slow.
I have VAXstation II/GPX (16MB, DECwindows) that can pop up windows faster 
than a VAXstation 4000/60 (40MB, DECwindows/Motif).

Also, I believe that you will see new VAX processors still coming out even after
the Alpha computer systems start shipping.  Just look at the PDP-11 computer
line.  They are still making the darn things.  Every once in a while you see
a new faster PDP-11 processor being released.  I believe the release of new
VAX processors may decline over time, but I doubt they will stop.  There are
probably too many products that really require a real VAX.  Anyone using ELN
on an embedded VAX processor will probably require a real VAX processor for
instance.
