Subject: ?undo LIB$INSERT_TREE (delete from AVL balanced tree)
Date: 11 Sep 92 21:40:58 GMT
Distribution: world
Organization: The Internet

This is related to VMS only insofar a the runtime library routine
LIB$INSERT_TREE implements the algorithm of inserting nodes into
an "AVL" balanced binary tree:

I'm looking for code that *deletes* nodes from this data structure,
keeping it balanced (so more nodes can be inserted later).
Has somebody tackled that problem already?

	Is there a way to have ACCOUNTING use a file other than ACCOUNTNG.DAT

I've heard of not having the documentation.  I've heard of people not being

	If I had to write a UNIX C-shell script I would have no problem, and

WHAT .COM file was deleted?  Nothing in your message provides even the

a mind reader to give you any help!

VMS_POSIX complies with the POSIX 1003.1-1988 (or 1003.1-1990 for V1.1) 
standard. Compliance requires the existence of certain files in the 
/usr/include area. The standard DOES NOT require all of the files found in a 
typical UN*X /usr/include . . . only the ones required by the standard(s).

The inclusion of X11 is currently not covered by an existing POSIX Standard. 
The 1201.n subgroup meeting with POSIX will cover this area. Any include files 
dealing the X11 placed in /usr/include/X11 are DEC's value-added stuff. DEC has 
extended several areas of POSIX . . . mostly for the convenience of DEC 
community. The user can easily presume these extensions are INDEED the 
standard.

[ To be accurate, VMS_POSIX V1.0 complies with POSIX 1003.1, 1003.4 (Real-time, 
Draft 1989 ... vintage 1989!!), and 1003.2 (Shell & Utilities, draft from 
1991?). So the include files cover 1003.1 and 1003.4].

Vendor practice shows extensive variability (seen on my Ultrix, System V, AIX, 
and Mach UN*X platforms) on the location and names of the include files.
platforms, the include files are all over the place. While POSIX originated 
from the /usr/planning UN*X group, POSIX is NOT UNIX. It is a Portable 
Interface .... which is very UN*X-like.

So how do I handle conversion of VMS and "other" environments to POSIX? I 
segregate the platform dependent portions into specific modules. Where this 
becomes gruesome, I write system dependent "wrapper code". As the other ~20 
groups of POSIX pass their draft standards into final standards (and most of 
them are starting/completing ballot right now), this "ugliness" will disappear 
(or so I hope!).

    Yeah.  I've had trouble like that too for a long time. I think it's
    the same with overstike mode.  CTRL-H doesn't get one back to the
    beginning of the first line.  Toggling CTRL-A didn't seem to help
    either. I usually have to CTRL-Y it the DCL command and start again.

    Perhaps there is a SET TERM command that we need here.  Or, perhaps a
    mix of hardware margins and software wrapping or lack thereof.
    Perhaps a secret escape sequence.  Terminals I've seen the problem on
    include a CIT-467 which the system thinks is a VT-100. 
    Anybody got a fix or something to try?

Subject: Looking for Callable Notes information
Date: 8 Sep 92 23:00:00 GMT
Distribution: world
Organization: The Internet

I recently poured through the VAX NOTES UTILITY conference on the VS0133 DECUS
CD-ROM, and found several threads concerning Callable Notes.  It seems that the
most extensive work posted originated with the original author of the NUPDATE
program Terry Kennedy posted onto the I-BBOARD list a few months ago, a
gentleman named John Jones from Quad/Grapics (?).  However, of course the
DECUSERVE conference dies off with April '91, since that's the time frame
for cutoff on the Spring '91 library.  The bulk of the information seems to
come in a thread from December '89; the last posting from Mr. Jones appears in
May of '90, and the last reference to him appears in March of '91.

Is there any chance anybody's done more on this since then?  Or if Mr. Jones is
out there, have *you* done any more since then?  There was a note from you
early in the discussions I perused, indicating a 600+ line file you offered to
interested parties, detailing what you already had determined.

My specific application involves a problem with a function/output item pair
noted in a postscript matrix Mr. Jones posted in September '90: 
NOTES$ENTRY_GET_CLASS() and NOTES$K_CLASS_NAME.  What I'm trying to do is to
enhance his NUPDATE.C program so that, when scanning all entries in all
classes, it includes the relevant class name in reporting entries having unseen 
notes.  I'll of course settle for solving this one problem, but of course I'm
interested if anybody has gleaned more information since his postings to
DECUSERVE as included on the VS0133 CD.

print command in bookreader, but it doesn't seem a bookmark would lower
revenues, unless bookmarks are envisioned as a layered product on top of
bookreader.
    Is anybody else finding it difficult to remember where a given book is

The following is quoted from the DSNlink article titled ""-SMI-E-BADACTRL" 
Error From SYSMAN DO Commands".  The article applies to VMS 5.0 - 5.5.

  "Another cause of this error is if you have secondary passwords
   enabled.  SYSMAN does not support secondary passwords."

If the logical SYSUAF was defined after the SMISERVERs were created (or
if it was moved), you'd get the same error, too.

Secondary passwords are not more secure than a single password.  They seem
like it, but just make your minimum password length twice its current value
and disable the secondary password requirement.  If you are concerned about
being on the Internet with known privileged accounts (SYSTEM, FIELD, etc.)
you could DisUser those usernames and only enable them when needed.

The primary purpose of secondary passwords is to require two separate people 
to login to a username (one person knows the primary password, another person
knows the secondary password).  See also _Guide to VMS System Security_, V5.2, 
pages 3-12 and 5-16.

about this topic.)

Have you changed your Xwindows login logo? If so, help...

We have a VAXCluster with several VAXstation 2000's and 3100's served by a
MicroVax 3800.  We have followed the manual as we understand it by creating
the DECW$PRIVATE_APPS_SETUP.COM by adding the symbol DECW$LOGINLOGO

Excerpt from DECW$PRIVATE_APPS_SETUP.COM:
$ !
$ ! This is an example session customization file.  You can specify how you
$ ! want the session to configure itself by defining some DCL symbols here.
$ ! To use this file, first copy it to an executable command file:
$ !
$ !	$ COPY DECW$PRIVATE_APPS_SETUP.TEMPLATE *.COM
$ !
$ ! Next, edit DECW$PRIVATE_APPS_SETUP.COM to specify the setup options
$ ! you want.  You can use this file to specify the following:
$ !	Logo		DECW$LOGINLOGO		DCL command file filespec
$ !
...
$ ! This section is used to define private session setup options that all the
$ ! workstations in a cluster have in common, or to define the setup options
$ ! for a stand-alone workstation.
$ !
$ ! Note that if most, but not all, of the workstations have the same setup
$ ! option in common, you can define the symbol for the common setup option
$ ! in this section, and then redefine the same symbol in the following
$ ! workstation-specific section only for those workstations that require a
$ ! different setup option.
$ !
$ ! The following commented out definitions are examples of the kinds of
$ ! customizations you can make.
$ !
$ ! decw$sylogin == "sys$manager:decw$sylogin.com"
$ !
$ ! decw$sessioninit == "run sys$system:decw$wsinit"
$ !
$ ! decw$loginlog == "sys$manager:decw$login.log"
$ ! 
$ ! decw$sessionlog == "true"
$ DECW$LOGINLOGO == "SYS$COMMON:LOGO.COM"    !!! WE added this line !!!
$ !
...

In the LOGO.COM file for testing purposes we ran the DECW$EXAMPLES:ICO.EXE

LOGO.COM:
$ RUN DECW$EXAMPLES:ICO.EXE

Our result has been that the 2000's no longer display "Digital", but they 
don't run ICO. The rest of the cluster still displays "Digital".

What are we not doing right? Any help appreciated...

Rather than attempting date subtraction, how about just testing if the 
date has reached a milestone -- for example, if you want to do a full 
backup every fourth week, use:

	$ today = f$cvtime(,"ABSOLUTE", "DATE")
	$ open/read/write datefile LASTFULL.DAT/error=oops
	$ read datefile lastfull
	$ if f$cvtime(today + "-28-", "ABSOLUTE", "DATE") .eqs. lastfull
	$ then	write/update datefile today
	$ 	[do full backup]
	$ else	[do something else]
	$ endif
	$ close datefile

I picked up several versions of Kermit because I was interested in the  
Pascal (many systems) and MS-DOS Macro Assembly Sources for it.
 
 
 
If you have FTP capability, the address to get it from is
 
 
 
  watsun.cc.columbia.edu
 
 
 
(If you don't have FTP Capability, use DEC's Ftpmail service (which
 
is available via Internet) to retrieve them.)
 

 
VMS is on tape B, "Popular Mainframes" which means all the files to
 
FTP are in the directory starting with
 
 
 
  kermit/b
 
 
 
(note that lower case is critical for both directories and file names).   
 
The Kermit source files for VMS all start with a three letter code ("vms") 
 
and are 6 characters in length and have a 3 character extension.  
 
 
 
According to the printed listing of the "kermit/b" directory, there
 
are about 61 files ranging in size from 33 bytes (vmsmit.cld) to
 
482918 bytes (vmsmsg.mar), with most being 2-50K.  Figure that you
 
will need about 5 1/2 meg of disk space for all of the VMS files.
 
(These are estimates I am making by glancing at the printed listing
 
I made of the B directory and rough scanning of the byte counts).
