- I have to copy on a *VMS* node a file *from* that node *to* an
- Ultrix node via DECnet in order to process it later on from a PC.
-
- I wanted copy to convert the VMS file name specifications to Ultrix
- specification: strip off version number and convert to lowercase.
-
- It seems to me, that COPY and none of its qualifiers will do that: the file
- is created uppercase and with version number. The problem then: this file
- can't be seen from a Pathworks PC.
-
- Is there a way to prevent this? The copy command looks like this:
- VMS $ COPY FILE.EXT ULTRIX"ACCOUNT PASSWORD"::
-
- What I *do not* need are workarounds like initiating the copy from Ultrix
- or DOS (where this conversion will be done, of course).
-
- BTW, is there a way to give the file another protection while created
- by fal (it does not work with COPY/PROTECTION). Fal does not process
- .login or .profile, so setting the umask there is of no avail. Is there
- a special startup script for fal (i.e. .fal)?
-
- Thank you very much,
- Dietmar
