- You use LATCP to define an application port on your VAX and associate it with
- the port on the server (use the HELP command from within LATCP to get details).
- Then you use the language of your choice to assign a channel to that port and
- read from it.

- Disclaimer: Hey, I understand VAXen and VMS. That's what I get paid for. My
- understanding of astronomy is purely at the amateur level (or below). So
- unless what I'm saying is directly related to VAX/VMS, don't hold me or my
- organization responsible for it. If it IS related to VAX/VMS, you can try to
- hold me responsible for it, but my organization had nothing to do with it.
