Hi!
I'd like to network the machine via TCP/IP. The
hobbyist cd is supposed
to contain the TCP/IP product, but I must confess I have no idea even how
to see the contents of the cd. I can mount it and install products like
Motif IF I know what the product package's NAME is.....
just mount it, set def to the directory and then do a dir. But why don't
you look at my OpenVMS-Howto (www.freddym.org/en_vmsht_fnc.html)? Basic
things are described there. And there are some other good VMS-Howtos on
the Net.
Any help would be appreciated. It might be that the
TCP/IP stack is
already on the machine but I can't tell that it is.
$help product
Basicly I have navigation troubles. All those string
($) signs are
freaking me out. Hey, I figured out AOS/VS II so I'm not stupid. I guess
I'm looking for a handout to help me network this vax to my other
machines. A new operating system takes something like five months for me
to gain fluency in. I'd like to cut the painful part a bit so I can surf
on the machine.
It's very easy. Important dir's are sys$system (System Files and
executables in it) sys$startup (Startup files) sys$update (Files such as
vmsinstal ...)
If you have any additional more specific questions, I'll be glad to help
you.
My Sparcstation was never so strange. I guess Unix is
Unix is Unix, but
VMS is odd.
A bit. But it's very nice.
