I have done such port and it is merged in version 3.3 (not released yet).
You can get version 3.2 ported to VMS by Anonymous FTP to VMS.HUJI.AC.IL
and grab the file [.LOCAL]GNUPLOT-VMS.BCK
  If you want only the changes to version 3.2 then take the file
[.LOCAL]GNUPLOT-3-2-VMS.BCK

Subject: DECserver configuration -- help?
Date: 31 Jul 92 01:44:13 GMT
Organization: UB

Hello all.

	I was able to scrounge up a DECserver-100 for use with a VAXstation
running VMS V5.5-1, but I can't seem to get the DECserver to be noticed
by the VAXstation... 

	The DECserver has an ethernet address of 08-00-2b-05-55-74, but
that's about all I know about the DECserver. I have been able to to the 
LAT configuration so that the DECserver-100 will load its operating system
from the VAXstation, and I can use the VT220 (console port on the server)
to connect to the VAXstation, but I can't go the other way. I believe I 
heard something about the LATCP being different past V5.4-2, but I don't 
know what is different. I used to be able to do it under VMS V5.3-1,
but my old LTLOAD file does not seem to be useful anymore. I tried to 
figure out what was going on from the LATCP manual, but I can't make
heads or tails of the CREATE and SET, PORT and SERVICE, etc. 

	I do a couple LATCP commands which used to work, but when I
SET HOST /DTE to an LTAnnn: port which has a modem connected to the 
respective port on the server, nothing happens other than a 'port receive
error', which is the same thing that happens when the server is unplugged.
	
	Obviously, I am doing something wrong and was wondering if someone
could send me a sample LAT$STARTUP command file with commands for setting
up the server itself and local ports to access the ports on the server for 
a modem and a printer? I can figure the rest out, I think, from the examples.

	BTW, I am using DECserver-100 V2.0. 

Thanks,
Chris Kalisiak

DON'T DO THIS!  Use IOC$VERIFYCHAN, instead, to get the CCB address for a 
particular channel number.  If you don't (use the routine interface), you
will regret it at some point in the future.  (For those detractors of
IOC$VERIFYCHAN who claim it is unuseful because of its "previous mode"
access check, please note:  1) it is callable from any mode, 2) it returns
the CCB address even if the access mode check fails).

The code above then becomes:

	movzwl	4(ap),r0
	jsb	g^ioc$verifychan
	movl	ccb$l_ucb(r1),ucbaddr

Note the use of the CCB symbols.  Don't assume that the UCB address will
always be the first thing in the CCB.  The symbols are defined in $CCBDEF
which is in LIB.MLB.

Paul, I'm afraid your VMS Hacker's License will have to be returned for

is a classic hack for accomplishing the final goal:

	$ READ/PROMPT="string to write"/TIMEOUT=0/ERROR=NEXT SYS$COMMAND DUMMY
	$NEXT:

This does have the side-effect of discarding (well, placing in DUMMY) one line
of type-ahead, so it's not a complete solution - writing the program is the
clearly the right way to go.  But there are many cases in which it's "good
enough" (especially if the command file will eventually read the input, in
which case it can tell from $STATUS whether a timeout occured, and if not
simply use the value read in to DUMMY.)

Subject: HP Device Control Library for VMS
Organization: The World Bank
Date: Thu, 30 Jul 1992 14:25:17 GMT

We are in the process of switching from LN03 printers to HP LaserJet
printers as our VMS printers.  In order to do this, we are building a
device control library with the HP escape sequences. I thought that,
before we reinvented the wheel, I would take advantage of someone
else's work (object-oriented printing, I guess).

So....  Does anyone have a VMS print device control library for the
HP that is compatible with the standard VMS device control library
(i.e. the modules like landscape and compress  will produce the same
results on an HP with this library as the same modules in the  VMS
device control library will produce on an LN03)?  I'd very much
appreciate your  help.

I've also noticed that the HP prints a blank page when switching to 
landscape printing (I have done some testing) - is this normal?  Is it 
avoidable?

    This typically means that you are repairing the disk containing your
    current default directory.

    ANALYZE uses callable SORT, which needs work files.  ANALYZE softwarily
    write-locks the volume being analysed to prevent changes to the structure
    from being made behind its back.  The two operations are clearly
    incompatible.

    The workaround is to SET DEFAULT to another disk while analysing this one.

There is a rumour that QMS offers a software that do so for the QMS 1700, is that right. We have also non-network printers (QMS 410, 810, 815, 820, PS1500) which also should act like DEC-printers. Has anyone expiriences with PS 1700 and DEC software ?

That wouldn't work, because all of the AUTHORIZE entries for each of the second
year users would point to the OLD directory... And would have to be changed...
Which would mean some sort of moving routine anyway. It's a nice idea, but
I had already ruled it out. :)

Maybe I didn't explain the details of the problem too well, so here for those
of you who are still interested is a little drawing.

What actually happens is as follows...

 New      New    New
  \         \      \    /---- Diploma      \
   \         \      \  /----- Arts Hons     \     / Demonstrators

                        \---- Sci Pass     /

So I definately need to 'move' people around to different groups.

I've thought of changing the grouping structure, but it is necessary.
There are several other utilities on the system that rely on the current
grouping structure.

Again I'll ask, anyone interested in continuing this discussion, would they
PLEASE switch over to private mail, and I'll post a summary :|

and then MODIFY and GRANT/ID (and hopefully a few REVOKE/IDs!) the user 
GENERIC until it looks like the generic username you already had setup.

Subject: VXT2000 and LAT transport

	A research group here recently received a VXT2000 X-terminal and a
DECstation 5000/240.  They use the DECstation to boot the X-terminal via MOP.
The group members would also like to run X-based programs on our VAX using the
LAT transport, but they aren't having very good luck.  Whenever they try to use
the LAT transport, they get the error associated with the symbol DWT$_DWTABORT
(03AB8204 hex) when they try to start an X-client.  The command to create a
display that they are using is

               $ SET DISPLAY/CREATE/TRANSPORT=LAT/NODE=<lat-node>

where <lat-node> is derived from the terminal TT_ACCPORNAM field.  (They
create a LAT terminal session to the VAX, first.)  Security on the X-terminal
is currently set to allow anyone to access the local display.  (Can you specify
a username with the LAT transport as you can with the DECnet transport?)

	I'm hoping that something's just misconfigured.  Could someone please
supply the steps necessary to get things going?  I looked at the documentation
received with the VXT software (esp. the VAX-related information) but it didn't
provide any obvious fixes.

							Thanks,
