There's no alternative IMO. Unless a set file/enter is possible across a volumeset .
Actually I hope it doesn't since it's not a nice solution.

Yeah logical name list seem like a pain but they're a good thing once you get your head round them.
Well I have the files on another server so I don't really care about linking them into the Apache directory at this point.
On that note, you can now find most of www.decuslib.com in SOLAR::DKA100:[DECUSLIB]
It's still unzipping the files. For a mirror of the the originals, check out http://solar.sampsa.com/files/

Damn it, what a pain.

You need to look into SET FILE/SYMLINK. I have to run out now. Later, if
nothing comes up, I'll put an example together for you.
HELP SET FILE/SYMLINK is of no use - how do I make a symbolic link of a directory, anybody?

Hello!
No problem. I happen to know that the problem it sent that off to, was
never really solved.

I've been fixing some DECnet code in RSX, and I'm now looking for systems to check against.
What I'm testing is NFT/DAP access, and systems I'd like to test against is Ultrix-32, OSF-1, TOPS-20, RT-11, RSTS/E. Essentially anything not VMS or RSX. :-)
Do anyone have any such systems online on HECnet at the moment, which I can have file access to?
BITXT0: TOPS-20, USER=GUEST, PASSWORD=GUEST
BITXOT: RSTS/E, ACCOUNT=201,2, PASSWORD=GUESTGUEST
Additionally:
BITXT1: TOPS-10, USER=GUEST, PASSWORD=GUEST
I can put up a Ultrix-32 system if there is no other one available.
By the way, I didn't know there was DECNET for RT-11...

Tried every variation of SET FILE/SYMLINK I could think of, nothing worked.

I just added a disk to solar, DKA100: and have created a directory =

Total of 11 files, 7.03MB
This is explained in the OpenVMS File System Internal book. The files MUST
be on the same volume for the /ENTER to work. The actual file has a header
which resides in INDEXF.SYS in the MFD of that volume. A header is located
using the file ID. The file ID is stored in the <direcotry].DIR. When you
issue /ENTER, an entry, using the name you've specified, is place into the
directory specified; however, its file ID is set to the file you wish to be
linked with. This is why it cannot span volumes.
On *NIX I'd use a symbolic link - what's the VMS solution?
You need to look into SET FILE/SYMLINK. I have to run out now. Later, if
nothing comes up, I'll put an example together for you.
