No, UCX is TCPIP. You need DVNETEND or DVNETEXT. Zane DVNETEND DECnet/OSI End-Node OpenVMS AXP MTF 42.25.xx DVNETEND DECnet/OSI End-Node OpenVMS VAX D04 25.03.xx DVNETEND Basic function license (DVNETEND) --- provides end system support. DVNETEXT DECnet/OSI EF OpenVMS AXP MTG 42.25.xx DVNETEXT DECnet/OSI EF OpenVMS AXP MTH 25.03.xx DVNETEXT Extended function license (DVNETEXT) for Alpha systems --- provides end system support, DECdts server, cluster alias, and OSI applications gateways. A DVNETRTG license which isn't supplied would be needed to run a DECdns server

The DCL syntax is vaguely reminiscent of DOS in some ways, but it's really not a lot like anything other than VMS, though some of the file and directory privs are suggestive of Netware. A few things. LOGICAL ~= DOS Environment Variable (SET) SYMBOL is a settable 'alias' for a longer command, can be defined from DCL, sylogin.com or login.com USER SYSTEM = ROOT under Unix, but unlike Unix, any user can be made with equivalent privs, or anything between that and nothing. The default home directory for SYSTEM is SYS$MANAGER, where the SY*.COM (System wide) .com files live, and SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM which is more or less like the DOS AUTOEXEC.BAT. SET DEFAULT (path) = CD SHOW DEFAULT = PWD in Unix. DIR = DIR (!) LS works if you are ftping in usually. A .COM file is not a binary, it's more like a DOS batch file or a shell script. to run a com file, precede with an @ sign. to run an EXE file precede it with the RUN (or just R) command ie R AUTHORIZE The path syntax is unique, but basically it's DEVICENAME:[dir.dir.dir.dir]filename.ext;version so to go to the root of the system disk (boot drive) the correct command would be SET DEFAULT SYS$SYSDEVICE:[000000] SHO DEFAULT would give SYS$SYSDEVICE:[000000] File sizes are reported as the number of 512byte blocks. There is no common root directory, each drive has it's own, and there can also be logical roots that are a higher level directory. For instance MX_ROOT:[000000] is, on a typical system, SYS$SYSDEVICE:[MX] and/or (on ours) $1$DUA1:[MX] The root directory of any drive is DEVICENAME:[000000] If there is something specific you have trouble with, post here and I'll do my best, I spend my working day sitting next to a VMS 6.0 Vax 6440.
