Can you give an example? I assume you are using CFE to do the definitions.
I was using NCP. I had no idea how to define a node any other way due to the fact I have very minimal RAM.
With NCP you just can add nodes to the volatile database (SET NODE xxx). You need to use a program named CFERES which lives in [5,54] to do permanent definitions. IIRC you must SET /UIC=[5,54], then RUN CFERES and answer CETAB.MAC to the filename prompt. Then you will get a CFE> prompt and from then you can add your node definitions. (DEFINE NODE xxx). To activate the changes you must reboot RSX (Or perhaps stopping and starting the network is enough, but I'm not sure).
Oh, IIRC you can use SET NODE xxxx in CFE, but it acts as a DEFINE NODE anyway.

I can't define remote nodes under RSX though. Which means copying doesn't work.
Why?
If I knew, i'd fix it! It gives errors despite correct syntax.

Can't MOUNT FOREIGN so I need to read more manuals it appears.

Johnny,
I just checked the HECnet bridge link and it is down.
Is something wrong at your end, did I miss something?
No. Nothing would appear broken on my side. Other links are working, and you are not disabled. I sent you a mail earlier today asking to check that the address I have is correct. Did you not get that?

Hi,
That macro version that Brian posted doesn't seem to be working

does:

Hmm... I'm busy at the moment addressing pool (as in swimming, not memory)
issues. Opened the damned thing on Memorial day only to have the filter's
pump motor seize up. Just purchased a new one and I'm installing it, but I
need to run off to the hardware store. I checked email before heading out.
I'll take a look at the two examples later. It's been more than 2 decades
since I authored those programs and I haven't run Phase IV here in a decade
or more.

If you Google NML$PROCESS_NICE
Did that last night :-) There's not a lot, but I did find Nick deSmith's
netname.c example, and one other little code fragment, which was helpful.
The "Callback routine" is handed a descriptor.
I saw that. I was really hoping that the callback routine received an
extra generic parameter (like a Windows lParam or a VMS AST parameter) so
that the caller of NML$PROCESS_NICE could pass arbitrary additional
arguments to the callback. It doesn't look like that happens, though, so if
the callback wants to store or save any of the data that it gets, then it
has to do it globally.
It's far from perfect, I agree.
library module "$NMADEF" in the system called LIB.
Got that. Actually on OVMS 7.3 I don't have SYS$LIB_C.TLB or nmadef.h -
from some of the web comments I found, it sounds like those might exist only
on Alpha. No matter, though - $NMADEF is in MACRO32 is in LIB and it's
simple to extract $NMADEF to a MAR file. A little bit of emacs magic turned
it into a .h.
Extract it and use SDL!
The real problem is that there are no comments in $NMADEF, and my NICE
spec (AA-X437A-TK) only gives numeric values for everything. It's kind of
"take your best guess" as to which named constant actually corresponds to
the item you want.
Avoid the nameless constant values; include NMADEF from the library and use
its constant definitions.
Agreed!
Call NML$INITIALIZE; no parameters.
Call NML$PROCESS_NICE; NML request by descriptor, callback routine
Call NML$TERMINATE; no parameters.
The only serious piece I'm missing at this point is, what do you do if you
want to talk to NML on another node besides your own (e.g. "TELL yoyo SHOW
EXEC CHAR") ? There doesn't seem to be any NICE function that can be
embedded in the data stream to do this, and that wouldn't really make sense
anyway. That'd be like asking the local NML to talk to the remote one on
your behalf, and I don't think that's the way it works.
It seems like there should be some parameter to either NML$INITIALIZE or
NML$PROCESS_NICE that gives the node and access control information, but I
don't find any reference to that.
Thanks again for all the help, Brian.
Read the NML spec. You can do all you want via NICE. You simply need to
get the information about the remote node as known by your node and then,
compose the NICE message with the DECnet address in the NICE message. The
rest of the code all looks the same.
