Yes this is a *feature*, not a bug.  We use the following command file, it
works on VMS 5.5 but I don't think it worked on 5.4.  Anyway, it is a pain 
because you have to execute it in the decterm so maybe it does not fit your
needs.  However, if you are running something in the decterm on creation, 
just execute this com file prior to running whatever program you are running
in the decterm:

$!-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
$! This command procedure sets a DECterm's title to P1 and its iconname to P2.
$! If P1 is not specified, then the nodename is used.  If P2 is not specified,
$! then P1 is used.
$!
$ OSC = ""
$ ST = ""
$ OSC[0,8] = 157
$ ST[0,8]  = 156

$ If P2 .EQS. "" then P2 = P1

Date: Thu, 19 Nov 1992 07:15:26 GMT

  When I run a 19.2Kbps modem on my VAXstation-2000's modem port, I
start to have strange problems.  Everything will work fine for a while,
but eventually the mouse will start generating spurious button press
events and the keyboard will start autorepeating random characters.

  I suspect that the serial line mux in the 2000 is being confused
somehow.  THe machine passes all the diagnostics, including those
for the DZ, w/o problems.

  I never have these problems if I run the modem at 9.6Kbps.

  The modem line is set to the alternate type ahead buffer, and that
is SYSGENed to 10K bytes.

  Has anyone seen anything like this ?

Greetings.

  I am desperately in need of a program (with source) that will allow
me to read VMS BACKUP save sets on a UNIX machine.  I've tried a few
things I found lying around in various archives, but they are all
approx. 5 years old and don't seem to work.

  The BACKUP save sets are binary images (e.g., filename.bck) which I
would like to dump as binary files on a UNIX filesystem.

  Thanks in advance for any help.

I can only assure him that the error message I quote is that obtained when

Perhaps the error message he quotes is that obtained when trying to run an
Alpha executable on a VAX machine (and I see on re-reading my original post
that that was the way round I had cited the example).

Why doesn't DEC bite the bullet and decide that all Alpha executables will
be called .EXA, all Alpha object files .OBA, all object libraries .OLA and
so on . Then the respective LINK,RUN etc commands on both platforms would
take the appropriate defaults, and the difference would be clear to the users?

I believe it's wildly optimistic to imagine that DEC can get by without having
to do some major re-writes of documentation, in any case.

I haven't had this problem. When I have a function that is only referenced within
the same module, I declare it "static" and make a prototype at the top. If this is
your case, try that and see it the message still persists.

Maybe I am misinterpreting what you mean by "effectively" increasing the
size of the cluster factor.  We are running numerous numbers of bound
volume sets here of both RA90's and RA73's (more than 120GB disk) and
I have never seen cluster factor to be affected differently by a single
disk or a volume set.  It is specified when the disk is originally initialized
and (at least in our case) is the same that it was set to.  It is not
doubled as you say here at our site.

Not quite.  When the "only preempt if priority is 3 above the current 
process" behaviour was added in V5.2 or V5.3, it wasn't configurable.

PRIORITY_OFFSET was added in V5.4.  A value of 0 (the default) meant
"revert to original behaviour"; if you wanted the V5.3 behaviour, you had
to configure it by changing PRIORITY_OFFSET.

Check SYS$MANAGER:OPERATOR.LOG to see whether the symbiont gave any error

What's the best way to get the # of records in an RMS file, open open() 
call? I was looking for ways to work for all types of RMS files, 
including fixed record sizes, relative, sequential, etc.
Thanks.

Hi,

I plan to write a client/server application which is supposed to be portable
across various platforms. I know that there are socket libraries for many
operating systems (OS/2, DOS, Unix etc.). 

Now for my question: Is there a socket library for VAX/VMS as well ?

Does the POSIX standard include the socket lib ?

Please respond by e-mail as I don't follow this newsgroup regularly.

Thanks in advance and regards from Austria -- Tom Leitner, Joanneum Research

Some months ago a vendor glued a CXY08 8-port RS232 card into our
MV3600 .. this week one of the folks finally tried to use it ..
MC SYSGEN .. SHOW /CONF shows it there .. TXA0-7 appear as ONLINE
with no acess counts in SH DEV /FULL TXA .. 

Yet there is NO login prompt or signs of life on the 8 pigtails ..
another host on the cluster has entries in SYS$MANGER ... .COM 
defining TXAn .. TERMINALn for that node .. IS THERE

IS THERE SOMEWHERE A FILE WHICH SHOULD INIT THE CXY08 at boot time ?

Thanks /Ev/
