Hi Chrissie,
I know how that goes. I really wish I had a dedicated computer room
with air conditioning. At some point PDXVAX will have to go down as
well. In fact we're supposed to hit 88F next Friday, hopefully this
isn't a sign it will get hot early this year. Of course recently we
had 75-80F one Saturday and snow the next.
Was your VAX routing any Multinet sites? Bob seems to be down, so
I'm not bridging the two groups.

We had 85 about 3 weeks ago and then last week got 30" of snow that shut
down the interstate across the middle of the US. Today was the LAST day
for my network admin class (thank God) and sad to say, the student I had
given the DECnet bridge project didn't come through so as I told Bob, I
will probably do that part myself this summer (hopefully get my net up).
The student I had given the MicroVax 3100 (network NetBSD install) still
wants to finish that project (maybe some knowledge will rub off on him).
At least we got home this week without running into any UFO's. Believe
it or not, 2 weeks ago (driving in the snow) a pickup with a trampoline
strapped to their roof (with monster cable speaker wire), flew off their
roof an nailed the left side of the car we were driving home in. Today
we were lucky. We only got about 2" of snow and no UFO's coming back.
They say, "Trampoline's never strike the same place twice". ;-)

PS. Last weeks snow was gone in 2 days: http://www.rsts.org/~bbump/snow

Bob is down? Why do you think that?
Right now, I have Multinet connections to SELENE, DUSTY and STUPI. Looks
like the links to ZARQON and PDXVAX are down which, from what you've said,
is not really a surprise.
Unfortunately I don't run Johnny's bridge program. I did briefly a couple
of years ago, but I didn't want to keep another machine running 24x7 just
for that purpose.

Hello to everyone!
Does anyone here have a PDF or Postscript copy of the latest VAX Fortran 77
language reference manual and user manual to share? They should be AA-PU45C-TK
and AA-PUYPA-TE, respectively. HP site has only manuals about the newest HP
Fortran 90/95 compiler for Alpha and IA64, but they completely forgot VAX...
A throughout search of the whole WWW returned nothing suitable for printing. I
would accept DSR files too, because I can convert them to Postscript and PDF.
I'm sorry for the off topic question, but after asking for those manuals to
almost anyone I know, this message is one of my last attempts at finding them.
Thank you very much,
G. (Not English native, hope my English is good enough)
$ RESTORE/REPLACE/ACCOUNT//END=NODISMOUNT indev:[1,2]AUT101.A AUTOIN$:*.*
$ @AUTOIN$:AUTOIN.COM
$ $AUTOIN$:AUTOIN.COM indev:F77
Thanks - that worked! I probably wouldn't have guessed that one myself
:-)

If it were to use TCP, things would be a lot easier in this regard.
However, with UDP, you need to set things up more explicitly, since the
incoming and outgoing traffic isn't really related from the UDP protocol
point of view. UDP don't have the concept of a connection.

Ok, I guess it would be best to use the bridge program. I should be
able to get a port forwarded to my laptop; I'll have to look a little
deeper to see what I need to do to get the laptop to re-forward that
port on to the Alpha (should just be an iptables command, I hope,
which I could add to the current gateway setup script).
Johnny, since nobody else has offerred to be the other end of my
tunnel, I guess I'll be making the hop to Uppsala.
Alright. Let's go with that for now.
Let me know when you want to experiment with this. We might as well take it off list...

Does anybody know the procedure for installing F77 v5.4 on RSTS/E 10.1?
@[0,1]INSTAL doesn't seem to work for that. There's a F77 v5.2 manual on
Bitsavers, but the RUN $BUILD procedure that it recommends also doesn't seem
to work for F77 v5.4.
V5.4 uses Auto-Install. If V1.1 or higher haven't been installed on your system, you need to do that first.
$ RESTORE/REPLACE/ACCOUNT//END=NODISMOUNT indev:[1,2]AUT101.A AUTOIN$:*.*
To invoke Auto-Install:
$ @AUTOIN$:AUTOIN.COM
(optionally)
$ @AUTOIN$:AUTOIN.COM F77 or
$ $AUTOIN$:AUTOIN.COM indev:F77

Thanks, I'd appreciate it. A long time ago I used RSX and VMS a lot, but
I've never touched RSTS until now so I know almost nothing.
I think the RSX manuals also holds how to install on RSTS/E.
At least in the case of F77 v5.2, there is only one installation manual -
it has chapters for RSX, RSTS and IAS.
Ok. In that case we should be good, since I have the 5.4 manuals.
