It's one of those weird nights where i'm playing with my NT 4 domain again and a question occurred to me: can I do anything with DECnet and NT 4.0? What software would I need and where would I get it? ;) Google seems to mention Pathworks, but I can't find /too/ much information on it. I have DECnet on my Windows XP machine. (WXP::). Yes, you need a product called Pathworks for this. As for anything to do. Well, that depends what you mean. Yes, you can transfer files to and from other DECnet nodes (very pretty with a graphical interface). You can connect to other machines, and so on. Pretty much the same capabilities as with any other DECnet node. Johnny

Anyone got spare MMJ-MMJ console cables?

by sampsa＠mac.com

I could really use two of these, I know they're like gold dust to find, but am happy to pay a reasonable price for them. Ideally within the EU as I'm in Finland at the moment... Sampsa

Hello! The, ah, version I tried out inside a VM also complained of no license server found, but also worked within reason. I am still sorting out the multitude of details regarding what else to do, but now that I've got these copies, and of course seeing that there's something on Tim's FTP site, that's the next big problem. He's got it in a classic TAP file and in the Vax areas. ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8 at gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again."

El 21/12/2012, a les 4:42, Dave McGuire <mcguire at neurotica.com> va escriure: While you're at it, DECnet/DOS was really nice for the time. I believe (but am not certain, can anyone clarify?) that it is what grew into Pathworks. We used it extensively in our network back at the early 90's. IIRC the name evolution was DECnet/DOS => PCSA => PATHWORKS. The main problem with the DOS version was it ate a lot of "real" memory (about 300KB if my memory does not betray me). That left a very small space for applications... On the nice side, it came with an EDT compatible editor (SEDT... I miss it :)) and a XServer for DOS which worked nicely with DECWindows. That was the reason the puck mouse interface was in the LAN card. We had a DEC-centric office system back in those days. ALL-IN-1 running in the VAXen and WPS-DOS running in the peecees for word processing (BTW, does anyone have a WPS-DOS disk set arount? ;)). 20/20 for spreadsheet at both sides. And TEAMDATA to allow the end users to browse the databases. We bought 3300s for the remote offices. 3 of them I think. We linked those to our main site using 1200bps point-to-point lines with DECRouters at each side (1 port models at the remote end, a 4 port one at our central office). One of those 3300s ended at my home, and is now called BITXO2 :). DEC made an 8-bit ISA Ethernet card, that also (inexplicably) had a port on it for one of the DEC "puck" mice. Yes, the DEPCA!
