[HECnet] "illegal record size" in RSX?

Don;t you figure, they were stream files on the source, and got laid byte for byte into files with variable length record type set on the RSX end, which would cause random pairs of bytes to be interpreted as record lengths? A look with dmp ti:=filename.ext /bl /as would let you see if they have record sizes that make sense. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dave McGuire" <mcguire at neurotica.com> To: "hecnet" <hecnet at Update.UU.SE> Sent: Tuesday, April 14, 2015 10:25:36 AM Subject: Re: [HECnet] "illegal record size" in RSX?

Things have gotten a bit less stressful about that since some hardware (not the 11/34) has started to behave, and now it looks like some of the machines will be on HECnet during the show, so I'll be able to get some software on them then. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ/3 New Kensington, PA
