Wait, what?
-----------
After just converting a bunch of informational text files into VMS HELP files and
realizing how easy the process was, I thought of an idea - a HECNET.HLP file to supplement
the Info Server on RHESUS:: etc.
Basically, if you have a node on HECnet, just send me what you have in INFO.TXT (and/or
other information about your system) and I will add them to a central HECNET.HLP file,
which will be placed on RHESUS:: for your convenient downloading.
Importing the help file
-----------------------
LIBRARY/REPLACE/HELP SYS$HELP:HELPLIB.HLB HECNET.HLP
Format
------
The format basically goes:
<number> Section heading
<number + 1> Subsection heading
<number> Next section heading
Please start your numbering at 2, as section 1 will be general info about HECnet (prob
pulled from the website).
The quick and easy way is to just paste 2 <NODE NAME> to the top of your info.txt
and send it to me.
Exempli gratia of format:
