There are comparatively few D tools that operate with these formats, and most often the available C tools extract the data from the Microsoft formats for use on other  F platforms.  (eg: the CATDOC tool.)   The Microsoft Office formats are F also traditionally somewhat of a moving target -- as is the case with F most any tool that has an undocumented data format, the format can be I and often is somewhat of a moving target as the tool(s) and/or utilities   are enhanced over time.   I    The OpenOffice.Org office suite and a few other tools also do operate  E with the Microsoft formats, as well, but OpenOffice.Org suite is not   available on OpenVMS as yet.  I    I would tend to encourage the use of XML here, and would transfer the  G data using a format that can be imported into Word or other tools, and  E that can also be accessed and managed and created by other available  F tools.  Adobe PDF is another obvious potential option here, and there A are PDF tools and specifications available for various platforms.       --   G    I'd personally tend to avoid calling the Microsoft Office Word file  G format the ".DOC" format, too, as there are a gazillion different .DOC  H formats around the 'net, including the DECwrite .DOC format that was in I use on OpenVMS for quite some time.  If you are on the Microsoft Windows  H platform, most everybody knows what format that file extension implies. F   Elsewhere, however, the .DOC extension can be rather more ambiguous.   ------------------------------  $ Date: Mon, 5 Jun 2006 12:02:53 +0200! From: "Geler" <geler@Ilans.co.il> 0 Subject: CFtpFindFile::FindFile from PC with MFC1 Message-ID: <e60rsl$1db$1@news2.netvision.net.il>   H I use the MFC  CFtpFindFile::FindFile(_T("*.*")) in my PC after making a: connection to a VMS 6.2 work station. with CftpConnection.  I It works fine on a certain VMS works station but fails with another (on a  different cluster).   ? Both use the same O/S and the same version of UCX - V4.2 ECO -5    Can someone advise please ?    Thanks   Geler    ------------------------------  % Date: Mon, 05 Jun 2006 11:45:50 +0200 + From: Karsten Nyblad <nospam@nospam.nospam> 4 Subject: Re: CFtpFindFile::FindFile from PC with MFC= Message-ID: <4483fd16$0$60784$157c6196@dreader1.cybercity.dk>    Geler wrote:J > I use the MFC  CFtpFindFile::FindFile(_T("*.*")) in my PC after making a< > connection to a VMS 6.2 work station. with CftpConnection. > K > It works fine on a certain VMS works station but fails with another (on a  > different cluster).  > A > Both use the same O/S and the same version of UCX - V4.2 ECO -5   A Open a terminal window on the PC and enter the following commands   ! ftp <the name of the workstation>  <enter username> <enter password> dir  bye   C Repeat this for both workstations.

This is 5 exactly 8*2^30 bytes, or 8192Mb.  Seems suspicious...   D   The funny thing is, there's also a 18Gb SCSI drive and a 36Gb SCSID drive on the same system, same OS, and they initialized just fine at the size I'd expect.  F   I know there used to be some bugs in the SCSI disk driver for drivesE over 8Gb, and there was even an ECO for it at one time, but I thought D that had all been incorporated into the standard distribution by VMS 7.3.  Am I wrong?   E   The only thing unusual about these two 9Gb drives is that they were B previously used in another VAXstation with OVMS 7.1, which had theE aforementioned 8Gb bug.  It's almost like it remembers that, but that D shouldn't be when I'm re-initializing the drives with the INITIALIZE	 command.    

I built VMS on a single logical diskE (console: DYA0; VMS: DKB0) provided by the SA5300A via ORCA.  Got ACU C XE running, and can configure the remaining disks in the array, but C can't resize/reduce the one being used for the system disk.  I also C finally got a spare universal disk, so installed that on the normal D SCSI bus as DKA0, and made an image backup of the system disk to it.  < When I booted the new disk SSL failed (hardcoded DKB0 in theF startup!!!).  Fixed that, rebooted, and management agents work but ACUG doesn't show up.  Found several more hardcoded DKB0 entries in .com and B .dat files under WBEM, so I added logical definitions for DKB0 andA node$DKB0 pointing to node$DKA0: (/exec/trans=(conceal,term)) and ) rebooted again.  ACU still will not show.   D I booted DKB0 again to check and everything works there.  So there's@ apparently something hardcoded in there that a logical won't get around.   D Come on, HP, whats the deal with all this hardcoded stuff in startupE files?  Thats what logicals are supposed to be for!  Now I either get D to swap controllers so I can get the standalone drive to be DKB0, orA deinstall/reinstall ACU just so I can get the bloody array drives  configured.    Rich Jordan  CCS    ------------------------------  # Date: Mon, 05 Jun 2006 13:19:12 GMT 3 From: hammond@not@peek.ssr.hp.com (Charlie Hammond) 0 Subject: Re: Set volume label programmatically ?1 Message-ID: <kbWgg.1480$I91.201@news.cpqcorp.net>   D Please see HELP SET VOL /LAB  -- Particulary the note that explains,@ "Changing the volume label does not change other structures...".  C No matter HOW you change the label, please dismount and remount the  disk, as "HP recommeds".   --  J       Charlie Hammond -- Hewlett-Packard Company -- Ft Lauderdale  FL  USAF           (hammond@not@peek.ssr.hp.com -- remove "@not" when replying)J       All opinions expressed are my own and not necessarily my employer's.   ------------------------------  % Date: Mon, 05 Jun 2006 13:01:57 -0400 1 From: Bob Supnik <bob.supnik@sicortex.nospam.com>  Subject: SimH 3.6-0 8 Message-ID: <mno882pi9ggabkn92b5m9si1babs69uijm@4ax.com>   SimH 3.6-0 has been released.    This release includes:  C - first release of the IBM 7094 simulator, with IBSYS demonstration  softwareD - major update to the VAX-11/780 simulator, fixing more than 30 bugsA - new feature to limit simulated tape capacity to a specific size + - numerous other bug fixes and improvements   2 SimH is available at http://simh.trailing-edge.com   /Bob Supnik    ------------------------------   Date: 5 Jun 2006 00:29:25 -0700 / From: "Volker Halle" <volker_halle@hotmail.com> 1 Subject: Re: Wanted:MAIL.MAI structure definition B Message-ID: <1149492565.539580.76370@j55g2000cwa.googlegroups.com>  D This has been discussed and answered over in the OpenVMS ITRC forum:  L http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=1032273   Volker.    ------------------------------   Date: 5 Jun 2006 08:51:30 -0500 - From: Kilgallen@SpamCop.net (Larry Kilgallen) 1 Subject: Re: Wanted:MAIL.MAI structure definition 3 Message-ID: <AC1MupxNqn7S@eisner.encompasserve.org>   t In article <1149492565.539580.76370@j55g2000cwa.googlegroups.com>, "Volker Halle" <volker_halle@hotmail.com> writes:F > This has been discussed and answered over in the OpenVMS ITRC forum: > N > http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=1032273   I don't see that there.   : I see a couple of utility recommendations, and the comment1 "You're not going to get an official definition".   $ There is also some sample code in C.   ------------------------------   End of INFO-VAX 2006.311 ************************                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    4) <<< RETR instmodsh.com >>> 150 IMAGE retrieve of /disk$misc/decus/freewarev70/perl/perl-5_8_4-vmsaxp-7_2-1/utils/instmodsh.com (4426 bytes) started.8: >>> 226 Transfer completed.  3766 (8) bytes transferred.I <<< CWD /disk$misc/decus/freewarev70/perl/perl-5_8_4-vmsaxp-7_2-1/utilsdW >>> 250 Connected to /disk$misc/decus/freewarev70/perl/perl-5_8_4-vmsaxp-7_2-1/utils.e
