INFO.TXT, was Re: [HECnet] UPDATE: HECNET.HLP file for VMS systems

Basically, I've got a Python script that scrapes the rhesus.sampsa.com info's, adds any local customized help files to that, and FTPs it to RHESUS. Ok. But how do you pull the INFO.TXT files from other machines here? I can see that you can pull files out using ftp, and then process them on your Unix machine, and put the result back, but there are some DECnet operations in here... Johnny

Curious - do you have a Unix system on which you run this then. What kind of Unix system did you manage to talk DECnet good enough? Or how does this hang together, since you're using cron it's obviously driven by Unix somewhere in the back... Same box that runs the bridge.

Be aware that the HLP compiler cuts out any text after the .BEGIN-HECNET-INFO bit so put anything you want in the help files ABOVE that. Speaking of HLP compilers, I've set up a cron job to run on Sundays at 0500 EET, my robot will be sending update notices to the list when they happen.

Let me know. Hi Rob, I'm good thanks - I managed to get it installed once I'd got the saveset across to ORAC. Interestingly I'm not certain this is the version that I used back in the day looking at the header files, but it has already brought back a lot of memories of Modula-2 in general. How would I go about installing this? Extracting the backup to a scratch disk and then running VMSINSTAL? Looking at the definition files for the system libraries reminds me of Benchmark Modula-2 for the Amiga (which I've still got the manual for but have been unable to locate a copy of the code itself having suffered bit rot from my original disks) which has comprehensive coverage of the entire system in Modula-2 form. Regards, Mark. -- Cory Smelosky http://gewt.net/ Personal stuff! http://gimme-sympathy.org/ My permanently-a-work-in-progress pet project. Go into each of the [.KIT] directories and create a saveset a level up with an extension the same as the kit directory, for example in [.KIT.C]: $ backup/log [...]*.*; [-]modula031.c/sav when you have then all run the installation procedure in the directory with the savesets, in my case: $ @sys$update:vmsinstal modula031 DSA1:[MSW.MODULA.KIT] Regards, Mark. Thank you. I will do as such once I get the save set copied over from legato::, it's going rather slowly. ;) It's still copying how big /IS/ this? ;) -- Cory Smelosky http://gewt.net/ Personal stuff! http://gimme-sympathy.org/ My permanently-a-work-in-progress pet project. -- Cory Smelosky http://gewt.net/ Personal stuff! http://gimme-sympathy.org/ My permanently-a-work-in-progress pet project. -- Cory Smelosky http://gewt.net/ Personal stuff! http://gimme-sympathy.org/ My permanently-a-work-in-progress pet project.
