I'm trying to submit the following batch file (RHELIST.COM):
--- SNIP ---
$! List contents of RHESUS backup
$backup/list RHESYS-2013-12-18.BCK/save
--- SNIP ---
When I run it using @RHELIST, everything is fine but when I try this:
submit/log=rhelist.txt rhelist.com
I get the following error:
Job RHELIST (queue SYS$BATCH, entry 159) started on SYS$BATCH
CHIMPY$
Job RHELIST (queue SYS$BATCH, entry 159) terminated with error status
Any ideas?
Hi
It seems a casualty of my big sortout/move of house is I've lost my
Tru64 5.1B-2 install CD. I had a full HP media kit but the OS CD is
missing, I either lent it to someone or lost it.
Does anyone have one up their sleeve I could grab an ISO from? I have a
PAK kit for it, but no install CD!
Thanks,

There's a YAML to VMS .HLP converter?

The generic idea sounds good, but maybe the base file format should have more info/structure than the simple VMS help input form. Given a simple formatting structure, emitting the VMS help and the other formats should be readily achieved.
I'm looking at reworking the internal help structure of simh with the goal of potentially emitting several different formats.

Since I have some spare time on my hands, I've decided to create a .HLP file that describes service / nodes on HECnet.
If you want an entry, basically just email me some text to sampsa at mac.com and I'll compile a HECNET help library out of the entries.
So if you're offering some cool service, guest accounts, allow registration of user accounts, are running on unusual hardware (I know there's a couple of TOPS-20 systems out there, I really want to learn that OS) then let me know.
I'll release a new .HLP file (over both FAL and HTTP) along with instructions on how to import it into your system's HELP library whenever there's new material or material is changed / removed..
See the text below for an example, but please start your numbering at heading level 2:

Mail can be sent to HECnet users directly using the <NODE>::<USER>

To send mail to the internet, route it via the CHIMPYMAIL gateway,
using this syntax:
CHIMPY::smtp%"joe.user at example.com"

do not accept this as a valid address. Gmail does however.

I've unpacked all the freeware + DECUSLIB and SDL CDs etc I can find and put it on an emulated Alphaserver called SOLAR::.
If you prefer HTTP access (which is faster than FAL), go to http://solar.sampsa.com
