I have a couple of IBM Laserprinter 10L hooked up to DECServer ports. I have
PathWorks for DOS V4.1 and PathWorks for Mac V1.1 installed on my Vaxcluster.
I have defined a new device control library for the IBM printer for my printer
queues. I have also setup PW for MAC to spool print job from Mac to these
printer queues. Essentially the printer is now accepting print jobs from 3
sources : VMS, PW for DOS on PCs and PW for Mac on Macs. All print jobs begin
with a setup module that tell the printer to switch to either PCL5 or PS
emulation. I am having problems printing out from the MACs using software like
MacDraw or MacWrite but not so with Pagemaker. Thr IBM printer flushes print
jobs from the Mac except those from Pagemaker.

Anybody can tell me what this  is happening?

Thanks.

Gidday Cobbers...

I just discovered a cool facility in pathworks for DOS v4.1 (dunno if it works
on earlier versions) which I can't find documented anywhere.

If you type

use \\NODENAME /p           or

use \\NODENAME * /p         (to use a specific account)

where NODENAME is a VMS pathworks server, you get a pcsa manager session
(ie. ADMIN /PCSA) with all the commands you would expect.
Pretty hoopy I thought! (Not particularly usefule mebbe, but still pretty
damn hoopy!)

	Can't anybody see that there is a market for supporting TCP/IP and DECnet at
the same time. And I  mean a supported, easy to install, no hack-in-a-file-on-

Sorry, I should have included that info in the first message :^)
 
We get the "Invalid Service or Password" message with any attempt to use the
form USE ?: \\nodename\service%username password
 
A standard command in the form USE ?: \\nodename\service works fine.
 
Given the above results, we know the service name is correct since Pathworks
can find it in the second case.  We also know the username and password is
correct because the user can log in at a terminal with that account info.  A
related example is the PATHWORKS LOGON command.  This fails the first attempt
when using the username, but then connects successfully to the account without
using the username.  IMHO, there is some other form of access validation going
on that even DEC doesn't know about!
 
To answer the second question, yes, we did rebuild the DECNET databases on the
PC nodes.

Date: 11 Sep 92 00:10:02 GMT
Organization: MIND LINK! - British Columbia, Canada

Just to sort out some of the terminology, Message Router provides a mail
transport service, and email packages must either know how to talk to Message
Router themselves (e.g. MailWorks), or use a gateway (e.g. VMSmail). Think of
Message Router as an X.400 MTA, transporting messages to other MTAs, the email
application as a UA mediating between users and MTAs, and the gateway as the
protocol between them (OK, if you insist, P3).

DDS provides an online directory, tailored for email, but also useful for
things like company directories. It doesn't use Message Router services, and
even uses a different DECnet object.

Followups should go elsewhere, but my posting software doesn't know how to do
that. Sorry.

I'm looking for solutions on how to integrate HP LaserJet III and IIISI 
printers into a Pathworks environment. There are requirements for Post Script 
and HPGL. 

Currently the HP's are connected to the network via LAT/GoldKey/Terminal 
Servers and emulate LN03's .... uggggg

One possible solution was to use the appletalk cards available for the III and
IIISI, (with post script cartridge also) and Pathworks for Macintosh. This
seems to drive up the price to the point where you could just buy an Apple
Laserwriter ...Problem is that the investment has already been made on the 
HP's. 

What about using the HP JetDirect Card for LanManager combind with Pathworks 
for OS/2? 

Is there direct support (vms print symbionts) for HP's?

1) When notify is running on a PC with the file polling option it can sometimes
hang the PC.  On some PC's we have found that this only happens when there is
notification of a message on others we have found that it can hang at any time.
We haven't been able to characterise the problem any more that that.
 
2) WP Mail for Mac Version 3.03 is causing problems in a Pathworks (4.1)
environment. Mail sent from Mac to PC, Mac to VAX or Mac to Mac is fine. Mail
sent from PC or VAX to Mac comes out on the Mac with a scrambled FROM: field
and extraneous characters (sometimes) in the body of the text. VMS version on
the VAX with the shared mail directories is 5.5.
 
3) The TSR that comes with WPmail on the PC to allow printing of postscript
doesn't work on Pathwork workstations.  There is no conversion to postscript
only text is produced.

Has anyone managed to get such an arrangement running well?
What's the trick ?

I have got the drivers (native) loading, and can connect to server
drives using 'use'.  If I try to see the current drive assignments with
an argument-less 'use', the session will bomb (os/2's 'an error has occurred').
Any drive accesses beyond 'DIR' will inevitably seem to hang
(though if you go for lunch, usually DOS will have returned with
some variant of INT24).

I've been asking our lan-admin about pathworks/2, but it's a non-priority
at the present time.  Apparently, we've got the v1.3 drivers along with
the PATHWORKS 4.1 dsitribution, but it's not clear that they will work with
v2.0.

We are attempting to install WordPerfect for Windows on a Pathworks network and

much rather not do as this is a student laboratory.  Without this RW access, we
are not able to do things like setting up printers, either WP drivers or Win
drivers.  Note that we are using Pathworks version 4.1 on our VMS server (VAX

DOS 5.0 and Windows 3.1 on the PC's

We installed the network version of WPWin.  We have set the .env file to point
to, what we feel, are the proper places.  Does anyone have any suggestions
about how to get WPWin to work properly under pathworks?  Has anyone else made
this work?

    Well, first of all, there's no keyboard (re)mapping capability
    in the current VT320.EXE.
    
    Secondly, you're right in that it is slightly different from
    SETHOST.EXE.
    
    See one off the appendices in the "Microsoft Windows Support Guide"
    for the VT320.EXE keyboard mapping.
    
    Make also sure, that you've selected the correct keyboard layout
    in VT320.EXE Set/Up (the default is for the LK250 for some strange
    reason or another).

    Most of the known problem areas with VT320.EXE should be taken care
    of in the next release.

    If you're really and truly talking about the DOS terminal emulator
    SETHOST.EXE them, as far as I know, it _only_ does "JUMP" scroll
    (i.e. text line by line) instead of "SMOOTH" scroll (scan/pixel line
    by line).
    
    This is because it is a text (character cell) mode DOS application
    and you can only jump scroll in text mode (in graphics mode you could
    do smooth scroll).
    
    It you mean that how it works now is too slow, then try the "Fast Video
    (direct)" setting as opposed to "Slow Video (BIOS)" settingin the "General"
    Set-Up screen.

    Also, on the same "General" screen try setting the status line to "No
    Status Display" (it is one additional thing that might slow things down).

        PW for DOS V4.1a was done entirely to support Token Ring functional
upgrades.  In particular, IBM ASI/DLC driver support, Source Routing support,
and Arbitrary MAC addressing (aka: DECnet Phase IV-Prime) Attempts to put
anything else in were shot down. About the only benefit to Ethernet users would
be any bug fixes in a common component (eg: DNP) that needed changes. The PW
for VMS server does contain a few bug fixes.

        I doubt there will be a V4.2 (but one never knows about the future)
Planning for PW V5.0 is now in earnest.   Digital just released a LAN Manager
V2.1 Update for DOS (and OS/2?).

There is NuPOP, from Northwestern. It is currently in beta, but I've set
it up under DOS and it seemed stable enough. Not as good as Eudora on a
Macintosh, but we make choices in life and live with the consequences :-).

From the readme file:

I have posted a revised test release of NUPop, v0.9.9, to

     /pub/nupop/nupop099.zip

on ftp.acns.nwu.edu (129.105.113.52 at present) for anonymous FTP.

[stuff deleted]

(17) MS Windows support
     ==================

NUPop runs under Windows 3.0 as a DOS application.

NUPop knows when it is running under MS Windows 386 enhanced mode and
tries to be a "good neighbor" by releasing unused time slices, etc.
Hence, you need not set up the .PIF file to request detection of idle
time.

You should load the packet driver BEFORE you run windows.  If you are
using a packet driver from the Clarkson collection, do NOT specify the
"-w" command line switch.  This causes packets to be dropped.  Instead,
load the enclosed Windows interface driver WINPKT.COM ***AFTER*** loading
your usual packet driver.  WINPKT ensures that packets are delivered to
the
proper Windows virtual machine by requesting that Windows swap in NUPop
as needed.  Please read the top part of WINPKT.ASM which provides more
details.

As an example, here is the setup I use at Northwestern for a Western
Digital ethernet card:

     wd8003e 0x62 0x3 0x280 0xc000
     winpkt  0x60 0x62

NOTE THAT THE INTERRUPT NUMBER FOR WINPKT MUST BE LOWER THAN THE
INTERRUPT NUMBER FOR THE ACTUAL PACKET DRIVER!

You cannot use the mouse when you run NUPop in Windows 386 enhanced mode
in a window in Windows 3.0.  However, you may use the mouse in the usual
fashion if you run NUPop as a full-screen application.  Windows 3.1 does
allow you to use the mouse in a window.  Make sure your mouse driver
has been updated for Windows 3.1!
