I can't get unzip to execute properly and the
examples in the help files
and dialog on DejaNews have not helped.
$ run unzip
Gets me the unzip help screen.
$run unzip filename.zip
Gets me an error:
%DCL-W-MAXPARM, too many parameters - reenter command with fewer
parameters.
Well, am I stupid or is something wrong?
'run' doesn't allow arguments. Define a symbol:
$ unzip :== $path:[to]program_name
$ unzip foo.zip
You may not need the path.
That's explained in the ':=' entry in HELP, which you can't access
directly from the commandline, but you can from the HELP table of
contents.
You might find the VMS Beginner's FAQ useful; I've got an HTML'd
version up at <http://alcor.concordia.ca/~helpline/vms/>.
