You'd need to '$ DELETEE/SYMBOL/LOCAL XYZZY' to get the global definition.
In your case, XYZZY is replaced with UNZIP.
Basically it's the whole DELETE/SYMBOL thing i needed to do to clear out the old copy.
Now I know. :)
Thanks!

Never tried, but I suppose that something like the following would work:
$ DEFINE "DKA0:[first],DKA0:[second],DKA0:[third]"
Close:
$ DEFINE [/TRANSLATION=(...)] logical-name DKA0:[first],DKA0:[second],DKA0:[third]
If you quote the string, you will define the logical as a quoted string.
That's not going to suffice for use in a file specification.

Get python working and install the pexpect module and you'll be my hero.
Python's almost installed. All i'll need to do is install pexpect.
Then fix my blasted system. :)

Oh, we managed to set the priviliged bit with an ordinary algol compiler and use that for access to dcalgol to call operator functions. That stopeed working when the privilege bit was remioved from the codefiles.

There was a port of the Burroughs Large Systems algol compiler for RT11.
I have one on a DECtape I.
It compiled test programs that I had written for, and copied from the B7700. Burroughs Extended Algol beats C Bliss hands down as tool to write compilers and os's in.
The same one, give or take some edits, I believe. Originally by Barry Folsom, modified by Greg Hosler. RSTS port by Terry Grieb and myself. And yes, originally for RT11 sounds familiar, that would certainly explain why the RSTS port was straightforward.
Burroughs Algol is nice for lots of work. For operating systems, there was Espol, which was kept more or less secret because getting access to the compiler meant you could break the OS security... (There is an Espol manual on Bitsavers.)

GEM never generated code for the PDP-11. It did do IA-32, IA-64, Alpha,
MIPS. I supports a range of operating systems including Windows,
OpenVMS, Tru64, Linux and NonStop (although that never made it to
production).
That was my memory, also, although I thought it could also generated code for Ultrix, but I do not remember.

Obviously things aren't getting setup correctly. I wonder if I put it
all in the correct spots.
Please, don't take this as an offense (I'm not English native, so I do not
know how this would "sound" in English), but... After editing SYLOGICALS and
SYLOGIN have you rebooted the system or have you executed those definition
commands by typing them at a command prompt?
You can't offend me, I'm an idiot when it comes to VMS. :)
If you just put the definitions in the files, but haven't done anything more,
they were never considered: SYLOGICALS is read during startup and SYLOGIN
during process login.
You can define manually both logicals and symbols at the command line prompt
instead of rebooting the whole thing. But they have to be in the SY* files
too, or after the next reboot you'll have to do the manual typing again.
Yes, I did reboot. I like to always reboot after making system wide changes just to make sure I did it correctly. Nothing is worse than having to reboot and then nothing works. :)

PL/C I remember as a hopelessly unreliable piece of junk I was forced to use at the University of Illinois, under OS/370. I don't remember it on other platforms.
I can not comment one way or the other, as I never either saw it's guts or used it for anything other than as a toy compiler on TSS. We had the real IBM compiler which is what I used there.
PL/360 was Wirth's 1967 subset language used to write AlgolW

Yeah, I might just take you up on that at some point, but for now I'd really like to get something that I can haul around with me on my laptop.
Let me know. The box is going to stay on for awhile. ;)
If you set me something up I wouldn't complain. I'll need ssh/scp, vim (although that's optional) and python. :)

What's the host NIC?
I'm noe of using VMware's "host only" network adapters which I believe is just a loopback adapter.
I'm tempted to spin up a loopback adapter for this, however, just to be sure.
Probably best. I didn't notice any reliability issues attaching it to a physical interface on my system.
You know what? I take that all back. I'm already using a loopback for IP connectivity. Forgot about that.
Bah.
