- It's DCL.EXE that is ugly, and so is SYS$CLI, which directly calls
- an entry point in whatever CLI image you have (normally that means DCL).
- All intended functionality of DCL's SYS$CLI is available cleanly
- via LIB$ calls, so there's no point in hacking around.
-
- If you're in for undocumented SYS$ routines,
- SYS$IMGACT & SYS$IMGFIX might come a little closer.
-
- LOGINOUT is still another (slowly moving) target,
- doing a few kernel/exec mode things that no SYS$ call will give you.
-
- You'll have to read the "VMS fiches" (aka. VMS LISTING CDs)!
