Guys, I've finally finished downloading and extracting stuff I think will be a useful resource to HECnet users.
Altogether, there's almost 300 GB of stuff from various source on SOLAR::
As it currently stands, the default FAL directory on SOLAR:: contains:
Directory SOLAR::SYS$SPECIFIC:[DECNET]
FREEWARE.DIR The Freeware CDs, both ISOs and extracted contents
INCOMING.DIR Currently empty, feel free to add anything you feel like
VAXHAVENCDS.DIR The VAXHAVEN CDs, both ISOs and extracted contents
I had to add another drive to the machine to hold the DECUSLIB mirror, so we also have:
Directory SOLAR::DKA100:[DECUSLIB]
DECUS.DIR Extracted DECUSLIB stuff from www.decuslib.com
ZIPS.DIR;1 The original ZIP files
These are all mostly accessible via HTTP at http://solar.sampsa.com/files/
There is also a really rudimentary search engine at http://proliant.sampsa.com/cgi-bin/solarfind/solarfind.py

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.
