For some (strange) reason your MicroVAX ROM decided not to output the above
two messages but to consider every byte as an error message number, and to
output the corresponding error message identification.
Could be that the install was done on a MicroVAX 3100 and I tried to boot
it in a VAXstation 4000/60.
If cleaning the memory boards works, I can tell you for sure in a day or
two...gotta wait for them to appropriately dry.
(They were toast anyway...battery seems to have corroded them somehow to
get them stuck in a loop.)
Maybe that disk is not a bootable one and/or contains a corrupted volume which
has fouled some MicroVAX ROM routine. So it's very likely that those two error
messages are not relevant or correct, and most of all they cannot be trusted.
I figured as much. There is a dka700:[sys0] on the disk.

Mounting it succeeded. It seems it was just a user data disk.
Unfortunately, what I assume to be the OS drive from the 3100 has failed.

If you translate into ASCII characters the hexadecimal values at the beginning
of every error message you've received, you get the following:
%SYSBOOT-W-System ROM version less than minimum required for VMS
%SYSBOOT-E-Unable to locate file PKCDRIVER.EXE
For some (strange) reason your MicroVAX ROM decided not to output the above
two messages but to consider every byte as an error message number, and to
output the corresponding error message identification.

Boot a known good VMS disk.
Show device dk and see what comes back.
If that succeeds, then try a mount/over=id of this disk.
If that succeeds, then analyze/disk/read.
If that succeeds, then analyze/disk/read/repair.

No problemo. I have a distribution list on MIM for it now.
MIM::US:[BQT]NOTIFY.DIS
Mail uses LEGATO:: as a gateway, so it will not work if
LEGATO is down.
I should clarify that it means mail to destination outside

requires that those specific machines are online (obviously).
Would the CHIMPY::smtp%"foo at bar.com" format work? I use

Sure. Any address works equally well, actually. As long as
it's a form of address I can use from MIM. It's just that
LEGATO was in my head as a gateway I had used in the past
which worked for delivering mail to the internet.
Then have both LEGATO and CHIMPY as relays, I doubt we'd be
sending out THAT much mail that getting two copies would
bother the recipient too badly..
Up to whomever wants to to tell me what address they want me
to send to.
Of course, I will eventually move to my own SMTP client on
MIM (once I've written it).

The whole point of this exercise was to allow the individual systems to
update (in an automated fashion) their node database when Johnny
publishes an update. The automation requires that only one such notice
per event be sent (from Johnny's proedure) directly to the HECnet
system. That is a system with a DECnet node name/address like SGC::.
In this case the only account that has the priv is SGC::SYSTEM. My
system(s) will run DELIVER and just deal with this operation behind the
scenes. I will not have to step in at any time so I can just forget
about it. DELIVER will parse it, and direct it, such that a process
will kick off that will execute NetUpdateV2.COM. Initially it will be
only SGC:: (SYSTEM). I will add others directly because I will give the
address to Johnny, or I will have SGC:: (SYSTEM) forward it to the other
systems within my network, or some of both. The RSX and RSTS systems
will actually execute IND files. I have not yet figured out how the
ULTRIX systems will handle it. Let's get VMS systems to work first -
then deal with the others.

Also, sometimes database updates might actually not cause any real
change to the number to name mapping, just as a small warning.
Also, at this time, any additions or removals from that
distribution
are handled be me manually. So let me know if you want to be in or
out of that list.

How much effort would be involved for your procedures to send
email to a distribution list announcing a change to the network
database? I could hook that at my end to the running of
NetUpdateV2.COM which already makes use of the file
NODENAMES.DAT,
that the current procedure produces. The subject would
have to be
unique so that the parser could deal with it. A mail
message that
looked something like this:
To: @netupdate.dis
Subject: NETUPDATE
Content would be ignored. To subscribe all anyone
would have to do
would be to submit a HECnet email address to you. I
will volunteer
one
right now to test with - SGC::SYSTEM.
Hmm.. Eventually that would be easy, but the one snag
right now is that
I still do not have a resolver library for RSX finished.
Once I've done
this, I can do any such automation quite easily.
It might be that I could set it up using a DECnet-SMTP
gateway right
now. I just need to check this out a little. Let me come
back to you in
a day or so. Right now I'm trying to understand how
network booting
PDP-11s work...
Johnny
Aw, heck. I get distracted easily...
So, to make things clear - you'd like to get a mail with
a specific
subject line? I figured out how to do that. The sender
will be me, and
the to-line would be you... I can set that up now, if you
want to test
it.
