... you have configured your DECnet with a large enough value in the
executive for maximum boradcast routers
How many broadcast routers are there on HECnet now?

Want me to add a link to rhesus.sampsa.com's info server to yours?

Didn't do much beyond a proof of concept thing, but at this point, it could easily be extended in any direction wanted.
I'd add trying to grab the INFO.TXT file for one.
Yeah. Could do that, and lots of other things as well... Oh, hang on, I'll pull some info from my backend nodename database, which atleast have a couple of other fun things to present...

Feel free to pull from MIM if you want to.
Help files under RSX looks the same way as under VMS, by the way, even if the actual program that reads them is a bit more stupid.
But I feel that this information is a bit too dynamic to really match how help files are set up. A separate tool, which can pull the information in real time would make more sense, I think.

Well there's the Info Search on RHESUS, but that's a web service.
This actually can be made to be a cron job that runs every so often and uploads a new file to RHESUS::, it's fully automated.
"cron" job? Do you have a Unix system there? :-)
Anyway, a command line tool with a somewhat similar interface to HELP was more along the lines of my thinking. But sure, you could also have a job that regularly pulls down data and recreates your databases.
It's just a bit of Python and bash scripts that scrapes the RHESUS infoserver, and then adds the manually created files and finally uploads them to RHESUS.
Original idea was that people would send me actual .HLP files (with subsections etc) that I then compile into a HECNET.HLP file, this is still the case of course, but INFO.TXT works too.

You could send me a list of nodes to pull iNFO.TXT off for now :)
Then work on some funkier .HLP files later.

It was :)
In any case, the INFO.TXT puller is quite clever, it strips out the .BEGIN-HECNET-INFO -
.END-HECNET-INFO bits out, I figured no use for those in a help file :)
