So when I get updates, I just insert them into Datatrieve, and then kick off the updating process. Excellent. Hmm ok. Do you know if the RSX distribution of DTR-11 run under RSTS/E's RSX RTS? I don't have an operational RSX-11 system here. (yet) I very much doubt it would work. DTR is playing some pretty low level tricks, including having multiple tasks and interprocess communication under RSX. Yuck. And unfortunately I don't have any leads to DTR-11 for RSTS/E. I assume it did exist? I'm not certain; I've never worked with it. I'm willing to bet that it did, though. Oh ok, thank you. I'd love to have it just as a text file that I can massage into my various machines here. One line per entry would be best for me. Is that doable on your end without any trouble? Might already have that (more or less). MIM::US:[DECNET]FIX.CMD have all the nodes except MIM herself. One per line, in a format that is usable for NCP (or CFE in RSX). Ok. Slight chicken/egg problem, though...what's the node address of MIM? -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA
