Subject: DISPLAYing SUN olwm on VAXstation 3100 running CMU/tek...help!
Date: 7 Apr 92 13:30:41 GMT
Distribution: world
Organization: The Internet


I have a vaxstation 3100 running version 5.3-2 of vms and running
decwindows.  I have installed CMU/tek 6.6 (if not the latest, pretty
close to it).  I am trying to run olwm (or just about any window utility)
on a Sun (sparc 2) and display on the vax.  Security on the vax is
allow * * * and tcpip * *.  I've modified DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.COM
to add my vax name (OSPREY) and set 
decw$server_transports == "TCPIP,DECNET,LOCAL"
I've checked the SYS$MANAGER:DECW$SERVER_0_ERROR.LOG file and I don't
show any attempts to connect to the Sun.

On the Sun side, my node is registered (I can telnet to the vax by name)
did the following:
% setenv OPENWINHOME /usr/openwin
% setenv DISPLAY osprey:0.0
% setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH "/usr/openwin/lib:/lib"
% /usr/openwin/bin/olwm -display osprey:0.0
 and I get the following error:
cannot connect to osprey:0.0

(I've also tried osprey:0 ,osprey and all three with quotes around them).
If anyone can lend some assistance/guidance, I would appreciate it (and
put the solution on the net for the next poor soul).

	Thanks,
	Bruce

Dear fellow netters,

I have really tried to find zmodem on my own, but to no avail.  So,
in desperation I turn to your tried and true expertise.

If you happen to know of one, please send me an address for a ftp
site where I can find the VMS version of zmodem.  I have tried a 
few zmodem ftp sites, but these are all unix and PC homes.

Thanks in advance...

I regularly use two screens on my VAXstation 3100 Model 76, and have used 
two screens on my prior (older) VAXstation 3100's.  If you have a color VS3100
to get to two screens is relatively cheap.  You need a cable and a monochrome
monitor.

I use the second (monochrome) screen for stuff that I use daily, but not 
hourly.  For instance, I have my DECwindows calendar, an employee locator, a
terminal logged into our cluster, and Xpostit Notes all running on the 
second screen.  

The things that I use on a hourly basis (Readnews, DECwrite, VAXnotes,
and some other stuff) I keep on the main (color) screen.  This allows me to have
more things showing at the same time, while minimizing the clutter on my 
main screen.  

Think of it this way.  Remember when you first got your workstation?  You 
probably didn't treat it much different than a terminal for a while unless 
you got it for a specific application.  Now, you would kill someone if they
tried to make you go back to a terminal.  I'm the same way with my second
screen at this point.  Sure I could do without it, but I'd hate it.


PS.  I really want to get a VAXstation 4000 Model 60 so that I can have two
high-resolution, 19" Color displays, but alas, it's hard to justify that
expense just to have a second color display.....

I am working now on a project which involves comparison of performance of two
database systems, one relational and one object-oriented. To do this I would like
to emulate conditions which exist in reality in commercial environment (large
insurance company). 

I would like to ask if anybody knows about Remote Terminal Emulators (RTEs) for
VAX/VMS. This emulator is supposed to emulate multiple terminals and users with
different characteristics. It will be used to pose queries to both databases. 
Also, it would measure the performance of the system, giving data about reponse 
time for a query or a group of queries.

Any hints would be very welcome.

Thanks in advance,

Back around 1980, there was an attempt to standardize DCL usage amongst
the several operating systems that used dialects of it (VMS, TOPS-20, RSX-11M,
RSTS, etc.).  DCLS (the DCL Standard) defined <> as the directory delimiters
and . as the version field separator.  The [] and ; syntax was something that
VMS inherited from RSX.  The choice of <> had to do with internationalization--
some non-U.S. keyboards did not have directly-accessible [ and ] keys, but
all of the national keyboards had < and >.  Pieces of VMS were gradually
modified to allow <> and [] to be interchangeable.  It was supposed to come
about that <> would become the preferred delimiters, but that never happened.
INSTALL's default use of <> is one of the legacies of this phenomenon.

You're right that <> delimiters are not valid in rooted directory logical
names.  That's probably a bug or an oversight rather than an intentional
design feature.

Well I am not sure I would use functions for this - I would probably prefer
to write the code directly (both functions are very short), but here is a
small program:

program zz(input,output);

type
   vstring = varying [80] of char;         
   fstring = packed array [1..80] of char; 
             
function v2f(v:vstring):fstring;

begin
   v2f:=v.body;
end;

function f2v(f:fstring):vstring;

var
   tmp : vstring;

begin
   tmp.body:=f;
   tmp.length:=length(f);
   f2v:=tmp;
end;

var
   v1 : varying [60] of char;         
   f1 : packed array [1..60] of char; 
   v2 : varying [100] of char;         
   f2 : packed array [1..100] of char; 

begin
   v1:='This is a test-string';
   f1:='This is a test-string';
   f2:=v2f(v1);
   v2:=f2v(f1);
end.

This will compile with my old VAX PASCAL 4.0 !

  I agree. We've been happy with UCX. We're using PMDF for SMTP (and would
anyway, even if we had a different TCP/IP package). There's a lot of good
stuff out there for UCX. I've seen:

  o PING
  o WHOIS (ported from 4.3BSD locally)
  o TALK (ported from 4.3BSD locally)
  o NSLOOKUP
  o Archie client
  o IRC client
  o Empire client
  o RLOGIN
  o FINGER (done locally)

  The only thing I've wanted but been unable to come up with is a traceroute
that works. I have the code ported, but I need to be able to send raw packets
and UCX doesn't do this. Perhaps in V2.0. I suppose I could go poke around to
find where this is checked and add the support, but it doesn't seem worth the
effort.

  I think I'm going to do RUPTIME/RWHO this weekend.

  By the way, I prefer the UCX "Ultrix mode" FTP user interface over that
provided by other vendors (like TGV).

If you're using Motif, *everything* is too big, IMO. 

There is a file, SYS$MANAGER:DECW$DEVICE_GF.COM .  In you will find a couple
of symbol definitions, something like

	$ decw$monitor_density == 100
	$ decw$server_density == 100

try changing both of these to 75, then shut down and reboot.  This causes DECW
/Motif to think that your pixels are spread out over a larger area -- hence it
chooses fonts that use fewer pixels.  (Lots of other things get smaller too,
including Motif's overgrown menu and title bars!!!)

Save the old version of the file -- if you don't like the effect you can always
change back.

I think it has something to do with the fact that BITNET is "based" on
IBM equipment and theese big not-so-smart-as-a-vax machines prefer
usernames at 8 or fewer characters !!!!

Both taylor001 and taylor002 are truncated to taylor00. That they do reach
taylor001 must be because the bitnet software on the VAX makes a "best try" !

This is probably due to the need of UCX to write a log in the sys$login
directory of the username/password pair used to authenicate your connection.
Verify you have write access to that directory, through normal UIC methods.

I had this problem with resource IDs and UCX FTP...  which put me on the
path to Multinet.  Multinet honors IDs and ACL's on inbound FTP, UCX does not, 
at least under version 1.3a.  This does not surprize me, as a lot of DEC
products don't use std RMS for creation of files, which is the path that rights
IDs and ACLs are normally interrogated.  It's a known feature, and one of
three reasons I gave up on UCX.

I have a VAX that is a satellite in a LAVC with a local disk used
for user files and local paging/swapping.  The system boots off
a server on the network. I'm running VMS 5.4-2.  Early in the
boot process, I get the following:

          primary home block is bad; backup used
          failed to activate quota file; volume locked
          bad directory format

and then the computer mounts the disk. However, dir devicename:[000000]
fails with a bad directory format message.

DEC support says it has proprietary software that they can use to
reconstruct the disk, which would enable me to do an image backup
and init and restore, but they'd charge a lot of money.   Does anyone
out there have public domain software that will do this sort of thing?

Thanks for any tips.

     Does anyone have any experience with the UFORIA backup product
for Unix and VMS systems that was advertised on biz.comp.software by
someone at lobsang@unixland.natick.ma.us? What is it like? Reliable?
easy to use? How are the support people? Please email me any thoughts
you may have on this topic.
