Mind you, are you certain that that BNC connector is Ethernet? I believe it
is
supposed to be a "Chain" or
"MS-net".
Could be - all it actually says is 'network'.
As for the /// stuff - thanks all; this means I've got to lower my claim
just a tad! Mind, if I have to get one from the US it'll cost exactly one
arm and one leg in shipping alone :o)

New subject: Unzip (VMS Vax) Wazzup?
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?
The versions are :
Openvms 7.2b, and Unzip v5.20
Thanks,
Jeff
I'm gonna try and make SAMBA work on this machine ;-)
Regards,
Jeff

'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/>.
Cheers,

Aha, you just have to register a DCL command for UNZIP.
Do this first:
$ UNZIP :== DISK:[PATH.TO.UNZIP]UNZIP.EXE
(replace DISK and PATH.TO.UNZIP as appropriate, of course!)
Then you can just type:
$ UNZIP filename.zip
and it works, as if by magic.

Yup, to my chagrin, after posting the message I hit DEJA with the exact
error message and came up with the same result. Then hit the faq and
found the same result.
Thanks for putting up with me. VMS is giving me fits. I got it installed
and networked over my router so I can surf. Now I'm trying SAMBA.
One of the things about new operating systems (new to me ;-0) is that you
may get initial gains that you don't realize how much you are missing.
I still have difficulty navigating. There are places I can go in FILEVIEW
that I can't in DECTERM and vise-versa. Basicly I'm a smart newby who
doesn't belong on this list when it comes to VMS/VAX.
Regards,
Jeff
